Anonymous claimed:

***"GO" is the shorest complete sentence in the English language.***

"Go" is only one of several two-letter sentences. Others include "Do" and "Be." Nor is it necessarily the shortest sentence; witness the following:

"Okay, who accepted that $40 signing?"

"I."

Now, having disposed of that issue, who can tell me what the following have in common?

Mom
Noon
Radar
Deified
Able was I ere I saw Elba (for the non-history-oriented, Elba was the island on which Napoleon was exiled)
A man, a plan, a canal -- Panama!

If you already know the answer, you are disqualified. If you have to figure it out, you're eligible.

...I'm fairly certain the answer has something to do with a buxom woman & a bass boat.

***...I'm fairly certain the answer has something to do with a buxom woman & a bass boat.***

I have a secret I'll share: Actually, I don't fish.

Now, what that says about me and big-chested women I will leave you to your own devices to decide.

if you first got to know the lady for what's inside he, you might find that you don't need the liquor store, bass boat or her big chest

I think it has something to do with sexual positions Some like them forward, some like them backward, but they are actually both the same.

Hugh,

Hmm, could it be that the words (or phrases) spelled backwards are the same as when spelled forwards? And yes I (sort of) figured it out. But then I guess I (sort of) knew also.

You could have put the response to your previous question (I) in your list too!!

Correct answer: They are all palindromes, which are words or phrases that a spelled the same way forwards or backwards.

Shane, get your mind -- and any other applicable portions of your anatomy -- out of the gutter.

Settle down old timer.... I didn't want to give away the answer, so I simply used something that anyone that knew the answer would understand, and anyone that didn't, would just chuckle...

I almost thought Hugh had a sense of humor..... apparently I was way off on this one... Its alright old man, the newer younger guys got a laugh, and we still like having ya around lol.
