As a child, my elementary school had a completely awesome book that I read all the time and loved so much. It was called: "Go Hang A Salami, I'm A Lasagna Hog"
This book featured all sorts of palindromes! Some I remember include:
Tahiti Hat
'Nora, A raft!''Is it far Aaron?' (one very near and dear to my heart).
So, the other night, I went to this Baby Gramps show that you've now heard so much about.
I struck up a conversation with the man and discovered he is a palindrome man himself. He told me a fun one that he claimed to have made up about the actress Lana Turner.
'Anal sex at noon taxes Lana'
I then tried to impress him with the best one I know, 'go hang a salami, i'm a lasagna hog,' but he quickly dismissed it as one he knew.
He had a little more fun with words claiming:
'She was a farmers daughter: all the men knew her' [manure]
'She was a moonshiners daughter: he made me lick her' [liquor]
When I got home, I couldn't remember the exact palindrome he gave me (the one I have provided: 'anal sex at noon...' might not be the one he told me) so I looked for more information about Baby Gramps and palindromes online.
It was then that I made the most shocking of discoveries!
It turns out, on multiple websites (here and here), 'go hang a salami...' is actually ATTRIBUTED TO BABY GRAMPS! He wrote that! And I tried to impress him with it!
Apparently, 'Tarzan raised a Dezi Arnaz rat,' is by him too. Pretty good work!
