PALINDROME: A word, phrase, verse, or sentence that reads the same backward or forward:
Do Good's deeds live on? No, Evil's deeds do, O God!
Anyone know some other good ones?

Do geese see god?
To be honest, I didn't know that before at all. I got it from this page. I like it though.

- Tell us something.: I've been with Chiff and Fipple since shortly after I bought my first low D. I've learned loads from this community, and I intend to continue to learn and contribute. Many thanks to Dale and everyone who makes this site happen.

Particularly appropriate with the new board look?
Are we not drawn onward, we few, drawn onward to new era?
It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that schwing

There Be Palindromes Aplenty Here
(Sung to the Tune of Have Gun Will Travel (Palladin Theme song, original by Johnny Western)
There are campfire legends that the Plainsmen spin
Of a man who was nothing like Palladin
Couldn't ride couldn't shoot, but he won his fame
Cause everything he said, said backwards
Was the saaaaaaaaame
Palindrome, Palindrome, what's in a name
Palindrom, Palindrome, backwards the same.......
Yes, Palindrome..No one knew where he came from, and nobody cared....He rode into town one day from out of the West, armed not with a six-gun, a long rifle, a whip, a knife, a chainsaw, or some other exotic weapon. No, his only means of self defense was his snappy little straw hat, and his uncanny ability to speak only in sentences which when spelled backwards, were exactly the same as when they were spelled forwards...Here's a scene from a forthcoming episode of Palindrome....
"Howdy stranger."
"M'am..."
"Well, what's your name pardner?"
"Madam. I'm Adam."
"Oh, well how'd ya get into town? I didn't see a horse."
"A Toyota."
"Sounds like you have a little sinus problem?"
"Tons o snot."
"Hey doc, how about a drink for my new friend here?"
"Well, he sure could use it, look at him, his mouth's hangin wide open."
"In it, ram a martini."
"Sorry stranger, no hard liquor here. Would you like some wine, or some kind of beer?"
"Lager sir, is regal."
"Well, that's fine, say, you must be hungry? You're not trying to lose weight on one of them fad diets are ya?"
"Doc, note, I dissent, a fast never prevents a fatness, I diet on cod."
"Sorry to tell ya we're out of cod. Ya got two choices, italian or deli."
"Go hang a salami, I'm a lasagna hog."
"For desert, we could hail the young fresh fruit vendor over there..."
"Yo, banana boy!"
"I suppose you're just out on your way to the new OJ Simpson theme park?"
"DNA Land?"
"Stranger, you got a snappy answer for everything. Don't you ever ask yourself the spiritual questions in life?"
"Do geese see god?"
"Well...I never thought of that one..."
"Who's that waving at ya over there?"
"Mom?"
"Pop?"
"Lil, Hannah, Ava, Eve..?"
"No, the lady leaving!"
"So Ida, adios..."
"Stranger, I'm getting tired of this!"
"Huh?"
"Reach for the sky!"
"Draw. O coward!"
Well, what's the trouble there stranger?"
"Snug guns!"
"I guess I got the drop on you then?"
"A man, a plan, a canal, panama..."
"Oh! Got me with that snappy little straw hat!"
"A-HA!"
"Oh. Palindrome, you're my hero! Would you join me in my room for lunch?"
"Sex at noon taxes."
Yeeeeesssss, Palindrome. Staring Bob Ottobob as Palindrome, and Meg Gem as Sis..Check your local station for time and temperature, and remember Palindrome....He get's em' coming and going....
