IN PASSING
This idea for a competition was given by a reader to Hunter Davies for his column in the London “Sunday Times”: take a well known name or phrase in which the second word begins with an S. Move the S forward to apostrophise the first word, then think of a funny meaning. It sounds complicated, but the following examples should make it clear. lan’s Myth— UDI. Sam’s Need—A hole in one. Peter’s Cot—a birdwatcher’s bed. Muriel’s Park—Camberwell Green. Irving’s Tone—Agony and ecstasy. Isaac’s Turn—a solo on the fiddle. Bond’s Treat—Silk underwear. Tom's Hand—Right or left?
