Fergism 1 (confusing two topics): "The Eiffel Tower and Margaret Thatcher are very different, of course. One's had thousands of men climbing all over it since the 1800s, and the other one is the Eiffel Tower."

Fergism 2 (twisting the meaning of an expression or sentence): "My first guest tonight (...) is the first comedian to perform a solo show at the (Hollywood) Bowl, you know, doing comedy. I did a solo piece at the Bowl myself, but it was in the audience."
