If you take the first letter of each word and put it in the back of the word it spells the same word backwards.

Here's one ya'll will knock out the park:
A father and his son were in a bad car accident and both had to be rushed into emergency surgery. The doctor walks into the OR, sees the boy and says, "I can't operate on this boy. He's my son."
Who is the doctor?
Stevecsd

The doctor is the grandfather of the boy, the father of the father that was in the car accident.

Lemme clarify a little....the doctor saw the young boy and made the exclamation. The father was in another operating room.

I never got this answer right as I was under the impression that the doctor had to be a man. Most folks think the same way.
A man was at a bar feeling poor he sees a rich man take 50's out his pocket to pay the cashier.The poor man says to the rich man "I know all the songs known to man." The rich man laughed and said,"I bet you all the money in my pocket that you can't sing a song with my daughter's name in it, Sarah Lee Greyson." The poor man went home rich and the rich man went home poor. What song did the man sing?
