Malapropisms = Funny

I think it's funny when people mix up phrases and use malapropisms. Even on the odd occasion that I make a mistake...it's still funny. The best ones are the ones that people continue to use over and over again because they think they are saying it correctly. I know someone who says

Great minds on the same wavelength!!!

Close. It's a mix between "Great minds think alike" and "We must be on the same wavelength" (or some variation of that). Here are some more funny ones:

"I might just fade into Bolivian, you know what I mean?" (i.e. oblivion) — Mike Tyson

"I really dig Hannibal. Hannibal had real guts. He rode elephants into Cartilage.," (i.e. Carthage) — Mike Tyson

"I am not going to make a skeptical out of my boxing career." (i.e. spectacle) — Tonya Harding

I love Mike Tyson.

Do you know of any funny malapropisms?
