All About Spoonerisms: The Backassward Story

By Tom Wagner

During my many years of traveling all around This Great America, I would rent a car to visit potential building sites, meeting with all the relevant necessary parties needed for a potential business location and doing so see interesting signage. My job often allowed me a travelling companion either from the company or a local form the area to show me around the town. We would laugh as I read signs all using "Spoonerisms". This became a hobby that made the drives more enjoyably spent laughing. I wrote sign messages on scraps of paper collecting them in my travel case. Adding year after year to my Spoonerism collection. This is a small book to carry in the glove box, etc, for the family to read and laugh during a car, train, or plane trip. This has been my dream.

I am an 91 year old Korean War Veteran

Due to Unforeseen Circumstances beyond my control, this dream project

only took about 65 years to bring to a happy ending,  I hope.

My career was spent with large corporations in the Hospitality Industry

developing food service facilities of all types, restaurants, hotels and

major airport food and beverage services and in-flight food, including

staffing and opening for business.

I retired at age 67, became very bored and was offered a consulting job

with Greyhound Bus Lines Dallas Headquarters with a task of inspecting

all U.S. Bus terminals making recommendations for all business activities,

including Driver Dormitories
