It says the sentence "You have hissed the mystery lectures" has suffered spoonerism. What is the normal form of the sentence (without spoonerism)?

==============
spoonerism is a verbal error in which speaker accidentally transposes the initial sounds or letters of two or more words, often to humorous effect, as in the sentence You have hissed the mystery lectures.
