Always makes me laugh when I think back to saying the Lords Prayer at school and one girl in our class religiously used to say the following and believed that these were the true words:-

Our Father, who art in heaven,
Harold be thy name

Didn't matter how many times we tried to tell her she insisted God was called Harold!

Anyone hear "Grim poodle basher" instead of "Brimful of Asher"? Admittedly not sober when I first heard it, many years ago..
