Another is that on leaving Oxford for a holiday he announced to his students that he was 'off to the station to catch the town drain' (down train)
The 'Little Ride Hooding Red' story can be found here:- http://www.matthewgoldman.com/spoon/red.html

A spoonerism is a phrase where the first letters of words are reversed, often in a humorous way. They were named for a Reverend Spooner who was noted for reversing things this way. A famous one of his (to a lady in his church) was:
Madam, you are occupewing the wrong pie. (occupying the wrong pew).

"If you're going to bancy fess drall, don't forget to slop your dripper."
