Forrest Gump Dies And Goes To heaven

[Bugbear]

These kinds of things (which are a bit different from what's going on in the original joke) are called Mondegreens:

And, both oddly and appropriately for this forum, there's a Scottish connection of sorts in the origin of the term:



I was subject to a "mondegreen attack" earlier this year as I was driving to work and an advertisement was run on the radio. Strangely, what I distinctly heard was still very much in keeping with the actual wording and intent of the ad:

"Do you suffer from a reptile dysfunction?"

There are discussions like this in relation to Meme theory*, as well. Thanks for posting that.

I think the OP does use a mondegreen in the last part of the joke: "Andy"= "and he".

Used to have a large pet iguana lizard, btw.

* Memetics would probably be a more correct term than "meme theory"; the experts are still fist fighting about the details etc.
