Hi Tone
I love these malapropisms. Here's some of my favourites:
Les Dawson in his famous Cissy and Ada sketches used to say that Cissy had had a 'hystericalectomy'.
My friend doesn't like driving on motorways because she finds it difficult to 'infiltrate' them when joining.
Michelangelo painted the Sixteenth Chapel.
It's déjà vu all over again.
"Republicans understand the importance of bondage between a mother and child."
Dan Quayle
Say "No!" to negativity.
"What are you incinerating?" (insinuating).
"If Gower had stopped that [cricket ball] he would have decapitated his hand."

I think you are a retired teacher, Tone, so you will have read many howlers like these in your time.
King Arthur lived in the Age of Shivery.
Solomon, one of David’s sons, had 500 wives and 500 porcupines.
Sir Francis Drake circumcised the world with a 100 foot clipper.
One of Jacob’s sons, Joseph, gave refuse to the Israelites.
Socrates died from an overdose of wedlock.
