This is off-topic, but I find it interesting when things get labelled wrongly. Most Spoonerisms attributed to Spooner are entirely apocryphal, because it wasn't the kind of thing he would say. Too boring to explain the kind of mistake he actually did make, but he was renowned for it.

One of my favourites is:
I'm not as thunk as drinkle peep I am

Which I can't reproduce if I am under the affluence of incohol

Anyway, I would be interested to hear of any Spanish ones.
