OK, so my husband told me that he didn't get the previous post. And judging from the deafening silence, none of you did either. See, a palindrome is a word, number, or sentence that reads the same forwards and backwards. An example is the name Eve. I thought it would be funny to have a phony interview with elite athletes, and all their responses would be a palindrome. Apparently, I'm the only one who finds that funny.
Sigh. It reminds me of the guy who was sent to prison. On his first day, someone yelled out, "72" and all the other prisoners laughed. Then another inmate yelled out, "12" and again all the other prisoners laughed. The new guy asked his cellmate what that was all about. The cellmate explained that everyone's been in prison for so long, they've all heard the jokes so to save time they would just yell out the number corresponding to the joke. The next day at dinner, someone yells out, "25" and everyone laughs. Then the new guy yells out, "32". The mess hall is silent. The new guy asked his cell mate why nobody laughed when he called out the number. His cellmate shrugged and said, "Well, some people just can't tell a joke."

Right on! Thanks, Jeanne; it's always nice when somebody gets my sense of humor. I feel vindicated. :-)
Hey there Dori - funny post. I haven't been reading running blogs lately - so I'm a bit behind on what everyone's writing about ...
