    Replace one word in the title of a literary classic

    Thread title. This may be fun, you never know. Anyway:

    The Grapes of Wrath... The Grapes of Spaff

    The Odyssey of Homer... The Oddity of Homer

    Gargantua and Pantagruel... Godzilla and Pantagruel


    ​Perhaps there are some funnier ones to be had.

    War and Fleece

    which could also be the title for a volume containing both the Iliad and the Odyssey
    Do not think it a kindness.
