First used - to my recollection - by Frank Muir or Denis Norden in the
"My Word" radio panel show. They used to end the show by weaving a
story around a corrupted version of a well known quote. Some more
about them here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Word%21

I have uploaded (at random) one show from my audio library as an
example:
(Just fer you!)
<http://web.newsguy.com/MichaelGray/Atheist/My_Word!_Incomplete_Proverbs.mp3>
(Frank Muir is the one who has trouble 'pwonouncing' "Rs",
and the one on the right with the moustache.)
PS:
If I can be bothered to find the show that has the "tent" tale, I
shall post it on this thread.

It does not contain any "in-tents" material, but is (none-the-less) an
excellent representative "sampler" of the genre.

"Rocky and Bullwinkle", and their companion piece, "Fractured Fairy

Khayyam" being one that comes immediately to mind.

The late Benny Hill turned that into "The Rubber Yacht of Hymie Cohen"

Yes, I thought that I had heard it somewhere.
"My Word" was a truly captivating show for pun lovers, such as I.

Blackadder 1
<Peter Cook as the best King Richard III that I have ever seen>:
[stands, hunched, speaks awkwardly]
"Now is the summer of our sweet content,
Made o'er-cast winter by these Tudor clouds.
And I that am not shaped for black-faced war
I that am rudely cast and want:- true majesty,
[more noises from the people, then he fixes his hunched standing
position by yanking on his cloak, which had been stuck]
Am forced to fight,
To set sweet England free.
I pray to Heaven we fare well,
And all who fight us go to *Hell*!!"
