A few years ago I had a desk calendar with a palindrome for every week. That was a great year! It's still on my bookshelf somewhere. My personal favorite was "Sit on a potato pan, Otis."

Welcome, Littljoe!

I bet you can still easily get one of those calendars at any good bookstore ~ calendar season is just getting under way. I like the palindrome you quoted, hadn't heard that one before.

Thanks for the welcome!

The calendar was for 1991, which was obviously the point. Here are a couple more:

Traci tore erotic art
Laminated E.T. animal

And this truly astonishing one from the preface, credited to Alastair Reid:

T. Eliot, top bard, notes putrid tang emanating, is sad. "I'd assign it a name: gnat dirt upset on drab pot toilet."

I've never seen anything quite like that.

Wow.

All I can add to that is... http://www.sunwayco.com/patchcatfood.jpg

Here's the full 'Adam and Eve' palindromic dialogue, entitled: In Eden, I
(The names aren't part of the palindromes)
ADAM: Madam-
EVE: Oh, who-
ADAM: [No girl-rig on!]
EVE: Heh?
ADAM: Madam, I'm Adam.
EVE: Name of a foeman?
ADAM: O, stone me! Not so.
EVE: Mad! A maid I am, Adam.
