Ha ha! Those are pretty good. I missed 7 and 8 but got the rest. :D

I invented a new word: plagiarism.

See if you can figure out what these seven words all have in common.

1. Banana
2. Dresser
3. Grammar
4. Potato
5. Revive
6. Uneven
7. Assess

Give it another try.

Look at each word carefully. You'll kick yourself when you discover the answer. This is so cool.

No, it is not that they all have at least 2 double letters.

Answer is below.

Answer:
In all of the words listed, if you take the first letter, place it at the end of the word, and then spell the word backwards, it will be the same word.

LOL it would've taken me a while to think of the last answer, thought I had the first (wrong one) but that would've been too easy.

Basically creating a palindrome by swapping each word's first letter to after its last.

Great Riddle! :) :)

Here's one for you :

"Straw? No, too stupid a fad. I put soot on warts."

10/10 for length, 1/10 for making sense. :D

I'm glad I don't have to hunt for my food.

I don't even know where tacos live.

One fine day, brave Captain Smith and his crew of sailors were sailing the ocean blue.

Suddenly, on the horizon, there loomed a ship with a skull and crossbones raised on the mast.

The crew was frantic, seeking refuge and asking the captain what to do.

Brave Captain Smith looked at the approaching ship for a moment and said: “Bring me my red shirt”.


The call was taken up at once by a cabin boy. As soon as Captain Smith had the shirt in his possession, he ordered the man at the wheel to head straight for the pirate ship. In the ensuing fight, the pirate ship was all but destroyed.

The sailors were recounting their individual triumphs afterwards when someone asked Captain Smith why he had asked for his red shirt before the battle.

He responded: “If I was wounded, I did not want your confidence to wane. This way, you would keep fighting no matter what happened to me”.

The crew had a newfound admiration for its captain, and they talked all night about his bravery.

About a week later, there loomed on the horizon 10 pirate ships. Once again, the crew looked to its captain for leadership. Calmly, Captain Smith said: “Boys, bring me my brown pants!”

Little 8-year-old Nancy was in the garden filling in a hole when her neighbour peered over the fence. Interested in what the youngster was doing, he asked: “What are you doing there, Nancy?”

“My goldfish died,” Nancy sobbed. “And I’ve just buried him.”

The obnoxious neighbour laughed and said condescendingly: “That’s a really big hole for a little goldfish, don’t you think?”


Nancy patted down the last heap of earth with her shovel and replied: “That’s because he’s inside your cat.”

Hahaha -- Right On :) :)

Nancy taking care of business.

Way to go Nancy!

What?

Doesn't he go around autographing light bulbs?

Who?

Watt.

A man decided it was time to purchase a new saw to help clear his heavily timbered property. A salesman showed him the latest model chainsaw and assured him that he could easily cut three or four cords of wood per day with it.

But the first day, the man barely cut one cord of wood. The second morning he arose an hour earlier and managed to cut a little over one cord. The third day he got up even earlier but only managed to achieve a total of one and a half cords of wood.

He returned the saw to the store the next day and explained the situation.

“Well,” said the salesman. “Let’s see what’s the matter.” He then pulled the cable and the chain saw sprang into action.

Leaping back, the man shouted: “What the heck is that noise?”

What did the zen Buddhist say to the hot dog vendor?

Make me one with everything.

Reminds me of the novice motorcycle owner that couldn't get his new bike to start. Tore down the engine to see what was wrong, and discovered in the collection of parts the closed fuel shutoff valve.

While riding my Harley, I swerved to avoid hitting a deer, lost control and landed in a ditch, severely banging my head. Dazed and confused I crawled out of the ditch to the edge of the road when a shiny new convertible pulled up with a very beautiful woman who asked - Are you okay?

As I looked up, I noticed she was wearing a low-cut blouse with a cleavage to die for.

I'm okay I think.

Get in and I'll take you home, so I can clean and bandage that nasty scrape on your head.

That's nice of you, but I don't think my wife will like me doing that.

Oh come now, I'm a nurse. I need to see if you have any more scrapes and then treat them properly.

I'm sure my wife won't like this.

We arrived at her place which was just few miles away and, after a couple of cold beers and the bandaging, I thanked her and said - I feel a lot better, but I know my wife is going to be really upset so I'd better go now.

Don't be silly. Stay for a while. She won't know anything. By the way, where is she?

My guess is that she's still in the ditch.
