The 'Flurd Whip' Game

No, don't get your dirty minds in a lather!
This game revolves around
Spoonerisms, or what you might call 'word-flips'. Basically, part of a word (usually the first syllable) is swapped for the same part of a second word, hopefully creating a humorous result, like 'flurd whip'.
So, the main part of the game is to come up with funny spoonerisms.
To give the game a little more structure, try to incorporate the spoonerism into a narrative or story, and carry on from the previous post.
As an example, and to start off:
A flurd is a swedish animal with a very long, strong tail. Ancient societies prized the tail and used it to make their most fearsome weapons: Whips. Now, only one such whip survives, and legend says that whoever owns the Flurd Whip will rule the world!!
[Note: The preceding paragraph was a work of fiction, and there is no such thing as 'flurds'.]

However, take up the Flurd Whip at your peril, for there is another artifact equivalent, or even greater in power that will fight one final fatal battle with the warrior who takes up the Flurd Whip. Only after you have defeated the holder of the Peccond Soast, a holy artifact which, although it has no form of it's own and was only made as a result of the first weapon, it is much longer and perhaps grants its user greater powers.

In the meantime I relax with a Thool of Rum (Thool being an ancient word for the quantity of alcoholic bewerage needed to make the slung tip and therefore rather undistinct) and wait for the things to come.

I'll let the last three posts slide as long as they're not intended to be offensive. However, they're still not following the rules of the game. To clarify:
1) Make up a spoonerism (or use an unoriginal one)
2) Incorporate it into an ongoing narrative/story. This is the real challenge, since you have to think of ways to fit the different things together.
Continuing from Piscator's post:
Fran finished reading, closed the book and replaced it on the library shelf. She enjoyed reading about ancient and legendary artifacts (and units of measure, apparently) but she was still confused. How could the Peccond Soast
have a length when it had no form? She shrugged resignedly, picked up her bag and headed for home.
She had originally visited the library to research her ancestor, a Polish jew who wrote a diary during World War II. But she had found nothing. Fran also had Egyptian ancestors, from whom she got her surname. At some point her family had moved to America, and she'd grown up in a crime-ridden district. Many times she'd wished she could just go vigilante, like in the movies, and shoot all the bad guys, jumping slow-motion through the air with both guns blazing. She snapped back to reality, and sighed at the knowledge that she couldn't make a difference. Fran Ankh was only one jew.

Unfortunately for Fran Ankh, there was a large, organised group of indiviuals called the Partzey Narti, and as she was indeed only one jew, she stood absolutely no chance against their so-called "Tits-kreeg Blackticks" and economically-driven warmongering.

In the interests of actually getting some posts, I'm going to drop the 'requirement' for a narrative. You just need to post a spoonerism. However, if you can incorporate said spoonerism into a narrative, it would be all the more better. But you don't have to.

Suddenly a black-clad man jumped from the shadows and gave Fran a key. Before melting back into the darkness he said, "Greetings. I am Ninja Jutt and I give you the Tuppa Key".

Yeaaaah go Piscator!

That was funny... and visual. I wish I could make something funny. In Finland they keep repeating the same old things. Oh, now I came up but not sure if it's forum friendly. ...
