| Okay, so I googled "Who wrote 'Sit on a potato pan, Otis'?" Got it! Jon Agee. He looks so young...how old do you think "Sit on a potato pan, Otis" is? | |
|
| I don't know, but when I first heard it, I was a little kid... | |

|
| Oh, it looks like he wrote a book of palindromes called, "Sit on a Potato Pan, Otis." I don't think he wrote the palindrome itself. Hmm. | |
|
| Madam, I'm Adam. Do geese see God? A man, a plan, a canal, Suez? | |

| That's not a palindrome. Hey, I found this Chicago Tribune article...oh, man, this guy Sotades from the 3rd century BC wrote a palindrome that apparently insulted King Ptolemy II. Punishment: Put in lead box, thrown in sea. | |
|
| I cant bear such stories--a guy so like us getting taken out by some dumb king. Yeah, the pen is mightier than the sword, but the lead box is mightier than the flesh. Can't we stick to William Safires favorite--Sex at noon taxes? Although I prefer when it refreshes. | |
