About the Book
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.
