A HEAD SCRATCHER AND QUESTIONS TO PONDER
A HEAD SCRATCHER
TO ALL MY INTELLIGENT FRIENDS
Keep that brain working; try to figure this one out. See if you can figure out what these seven words all have in common? NO CHEATING BY LOOKING AT THE FOLLOWING BELOW FIRST.
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.

Answer:
In all 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.
Did you figure it out?
No? Then send this to more people and stump them as well.
Then, you'll feel better too!

My big brother is still hangin' in there and still sending me stuff others send him as emails, so here you go - enjoy.
I enjoyed this!
Did you figure out the head scratcher? I couldn't.
Thanks for something funny
Yeah, there's so little that IS funny these days.
Haha
Nobody else going to admit they couldn't get the head-scratcher?
I didn't. I wasn't thinking about spelling, I was trying to get some kind of meaning between them...
I didn't get it. But when I saw the answer I went back and tried it out.
I got the answer. I can thank my grade school English teacher for it.
Banana and Potato. She had both on a spelling test of 20 words. She used the same trivia question for extra credit.
All I remember from any English class is we had to watch the movie Romeo and Juliet....
We watched that, too!
I remember reading The Sun Also Rises in 11th grade English, writing research papers using periodicals only, and actually participating in debate
I did that too.
Way to go!!! I think America needs more teachers of that quality.
We never watched movies in English class, but what got me into the direction of actually ending up to be an English teacher was when our grade 11 teacher made us do a book report on Pride and Prejudice, which led me to major in English Literature for my B.A.
Hemingway was a good basis for learning English - took a course on him for my B.A.
We actually went to a movie theater to watch it. I think all the schools in the county did that. It was a required thing for 9th grade English
I can only recall one movie ever shown at a school I attended. It was in university freshman phys-ed class, and it was a sex-education movie. All I can remember about it because after all it was an awful long time ago, was when it depicted a sperm approaching an egg, someone cried out "Keep away!!!" and the whole class erupted in pandemonium.
We watched in class. Now I am a little jealous. A trip out of the school.
For us they wheeled in a tv on a cart...
Thanks for the laugh
They're needed these days more than ever.
Because it hurts like hell if it connects
Don't pull on his cape...
Don't spit in to the wind
Well, it would only hurt him if the bullets or revolver were made of Kryptonite.
Ok...he's Superman he sees the revolver coming at him of course he's going to duck. It's a natural reaction
In the Chris Reeves original Superman movie, he catches with his hand a bullet aimed by a mugger at Lois Lane.
Funny! Loved the list...
If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?
Humans were not evolved from apes, we have a common genetic ancestor with apes and chimpanzees. The Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History has listed at least 21 human species. The list may actually be longer than that! They don't list the Denisovians or the Homo luzonensis.
I actually thought that was a pretty good one, but thanks for the lesson in anthropology.
It's funny but more than inaccurate AND this is the second time I've heard it in a week so I thought I'd share a fun fact.
Some funny stuff, here's another one
If you get out of the shower clean how does your towel get dirty
But it doesn't. It just gets wet. People who may be "super-cleanliness types" may think they have to wash it, but why?
Because if it doesn't dry properly mold develops in your towel. Ever smell a towel that hasn't been washed in a week?
No, I haven't. Actually my wife washes towels even if we haven't used them.
Thanks for the fun list, Buzz! I knew the Head Scratcher, because I'd seen it on other social media sites.
Hope you're feeling better!
Thanks, Jasper. Improvement is happening slowly, as expected.
