Coffee Spoonerisms

Harry Hutton on T.S. Eliot:

"I have measured out my life with coffee spoons." (T.S.Eliot)

Coffee spoons? It doesn't seem to make sense.

The reply:

One coffee spoon = one year.
Simple.

Unfortunately, this theory isn't really valid when we consider it in the context of modern Einsteinian Spoonerisms. According to Einstein, the length of Spoon-time changes in relation to certain variables, including:

1) The speed at which the spoon is travelling

2) The curvature of this area of spoon-time

3) The presence of this man.

4) Whether the spoon is a plastic or a silver one.

All of these variables have an influence on whether, in technical terms, the normal spoon-year will occur (in Spoon-time terminology) Spooner, or Later.
