Anagrams

Amusing Anagrams
When you mix up the letters in a word or phrase and get another readable, meaningful word or phrase, that’s an anagram. Anagrams are especially interesting when they seem to link humorously with the original words. Here are a few classics:

Eleven plus two = twelve plus one
Desperation = a rope ends it
A decimal point = I’m a dot in place
The eyes = they see
Conversation = voices rant on

Election results = lies – let’s recount!
