Palindromes

I love palindromes. Doesn't everyone? I've seen a couple of good books that contain a palindrome on each page illustrated with a cartoon: Madam I'm Adam by William Irvine and So Many Dynamos! by Jon Agee. You can have a pretty silly palindrome that, with the addition of a cartoon, becomes something special.

Example: I think it's So Many Dynamos that has a cartoon of a street scene in Mexico or somewhere, with two mobs of guys in sombreros and serapes throwing fruit at each other. An unsuspecting gringo tourist is sauntering out of his hotel into the street, whereupon a solicitous native breaks away from one of the gangs to divert him, saying "No sir, away! A papaya war is on!"

There's another book of palindromes, From A to Zotamorf by Stephen J. Chism. No cartoons, but it has some extraordinarily long palindromes that (IIRC) were composed with the aid of computers. Impressive, but to my way of thinking that's on the verge of cheating.

I've made up a bunch of palindromes myself. I don't want to give 'em all away without looking into copyright (I might want to publish one of those cartoon books myself someday), but I'll share one.

To set the scene: A military hospital in Argentina, circa 1950. The beloved yet controversial first lady Eva Peron has just been admitted. Because of her ongoing health problems, some of the hospital staff are permanently assigned to her care. Here's a telephone conversation between two army doctors:

"Evita desk."
"Sir, Evita ill! Apt palliative?"
"Risk sedative."

... Yeah, I know it's not that great. You expect me to share all my good ones?
