Antigrams and Malapropisms

What about Antigrams? I think these are a more interesting form of Anagram...

Misfortune - Its more fun
Santa - Satan
Funeral - Real fun

and so on.

Saying this, my favourite anagrams are simple ones

Maggie Thatcher - Gag her chat time
Incomprehensible - Problem in chinese

Malapropisms also seem to be missing. A misused word can be fun at times...

'I was so surprised, you could knock me down with a fender'


and so on...anybody got any more?

I also love "mixed metaphors" such as:
"We'll burn that bridge when we come to it!"
