Malapropagation 2012 -- Revenge of the Schtick

If you see William Shatner there, try to get him to yell out “CON”!

And if you see a tobacconist, be sure to ask if he has Prince Albert in a khan. :smiley:

That old gag is part of a prank caller’s argot, jargon, or can.

D’you remember in *The Wizard of Oz *when the Winkie guards all start up the cant about Oreos? (Well, it SOUNDS like it’s time for a cookie break.)

But they were guards on land. Chants were typically sung by sailors on merchant vessels as they were performing their labors.

Chanteys Depew was Cornelius Vanderbilt’s lawyer, a prominent railroad official, and later a U.S. senator from New York for two terms.

Who is more corrupt, the Pardoner or the Summoner in Geoffrey Chauncey’s The Canterbury Tales?

I don’t think you have to be corrupt to put a Chaucer under your cup when you drink coffee.

You want to put a saucer under your cup of coffee? Doesn’t he have more important things to do in the kitchen like preoaring the hors d’œuvres, and sautéing food?

I love a good, stirring march, like those of John Phillip Sous-chef!

I wonder if he composed any of his marches while drinking Sousa tequila.

I was going for saucier, but queso sera sera.

Anyway, Sauza would mean that there’s Swiss cheese on it, but why would you want that on your tequila, I’ll never know.

I tried using a suiza board to contact the spirits of the dead, but was unsuccessful. Maybe it would’ve worked better with Swiss cheese and tequila.

When Madame Pepperwinkle and I play old video arcade games, I prefer Donkey Kong, but she’d rather run with Mario and Ouija.

What’s that hillbilly Snuffy Smith’s wife, Luigi, doing hanging around with an Italian plumber?

Few people realize that Snuffy Smith’s city cousin, Barney Google, was the one who made the** Loweezy** Purchase from the French. (And for good reason!)

My crazy history teacher told me that it was actually George Jefferson’s wife Louisiana, Archie Bunker’s former neighbor, who bought a huge tract of land from Napoleon.

No, that’s not right. Jefferson’s wife took off in a hot air balloon and landed in a magical land, where she was proclaimed the Wonderful **Weezy **of Oz.

The odd thing about chickens in Oz is that none of them have a wizard to digest their food.

My mother-in-law was born during a raging gizzard in late Spring, at midnight, during a lunar eclipse.
