A saloon-keeper, having started business in a place where trunks had been made, asked a friend what he had better do with the old sign, “Trunk Factory.”
“Oh,” said the friend, “just change the T to D, and it will suit you exactly.”
Palindromes
A palindrome is a word, sentence, or verse that reads the same, forward and backward, from left to right, or from right to left. The Latin language abounds with palindromes, but there are few good ones in English. The following will serve as specimens.
Madam, I’m Adam. (Adam to Eve.)
Able was I ere I saw Elba. (Napoleon loq.)
Name no one man.
Red root put up to order.
Draw pupil’s lip upward.
No, it is opposition.
