SUNDAY FUNNIES: ANAGRAM JOKES

♫Oh what magic in a word I found
by switching the letters around!♫

Hello Everybody! Autumn the Puppy here!

Now, amongst all my other various hobbies, I love word puzzles.
The crosswords (I can bark with the best of them), word searches, acrostics, you name it.

But when you can combine one of these with a joke, then I'm in doggie nirvana!

For example, let's look at some anagrams...



You can rearrange the letters in PRESBYTERIAN to spell BEST IN PRAYER.
But then again, isn't there enough division amongst the various religions as it is?

The word ASTRONOMER can be rearranged to spell MOON STARER.
Now, they also stare at a lot more than just the moon, but the restraining order is still in effect against that one guy who kept looking at Cassiopeia whenever she took a meteor shower.

THE EYES also spell an accurate job description too. THEY SEE.
Then again, some people are blind whenever their tongue covers their eye teeth. 😉

The 43rd President of the United States is also an accurate description of the 2000 election results.
GEORGE BUSH = HE BUGS GORE

Of course, a lot of ELECTION RESULTS might come down to LIES - LET'S RECOUNT.

When you're using THE MORSE CODE, HERE COME DOTS.
Then again, there's also DASHES, but there's no A in THE MORSE CODE, so maybe that doesn't work out as well as I'd like it to.

DORMITORY is a DIRTY ROOM, at least with some college students.
After all, hopefully they're too busy studying to worry about cleaning.
My dog house certainly isn't pristine either.

And on that note♫, have a great week everybody and please be back here again next time for more SUNDAY FUNNIES!
FUNNY IS SUNDAE!
Especially when you go overboard trying to make one and the ice cream starts to melt before you can eat it.—AtP.
