Fun! But , I missed the verb!
the verb was sinned. they all sinned. very good teaser... i bet it was hard to come up with. but i have plenty of time. note my last comment on your 'three paradoxes' teaser... took me a while, but anything in the pursuit of comedy ;)
actually i got the sentence from somewhere else. BUT i wasn;t looking for a teaser.
Very nice teaser ! It is hard to construct this kind of teasers !!! Excellent i could say . Deserves to be the best !
Fantastic
took me 2/10 of a second.
I like this one cause my name is in it Dana
I liked it very much
That's the coolest thing ever lol.
Ridiculously crazy sentence! I had fun, but I got it because of the more common palindrome, Dennis sinned.
Good one, some one has a lot of extra time on their hands...
WOAH. THAT WAS AWESOME
Great teaser! Constructing it was an amazing feat!
I thought it was excellent!
For those who yawned, go back to bed!

GR8..... i GOT THEM ALMOST ASAP EXCEPT WHEN I SAW THE ANSWER...
STARTING WITH "DENNIS" I SAID "WHAT THE HECk???" THEN I GOT IT....OH YEAH...sinned.....
LOVED THIS ONE, TKS,

Holy cow. That's awesome.
I never get these forward, backward things.
I thought it was nobody's name had a U in it. Maybe there is one.
Clever idea!

really easy. buy pretty fun all the same. did you come up with that yourself? if so, your pretty awsome. If not,your still awsome, but not nearly as awsome as you would have been.
Just a bit easy... It probably took longer to type it out than to figure it out.
good teaser,my mind isn't working but it made sense after i saw the answer.
that was very good! One of my favotites and very clever!!
Liked it very much but some of the names are incorrect when you read them backwards. You have added/subtracted some letters but otherwise very good little quiz!
yeah it was a good one but the commas don't really work either or does that matter in a case like this?
OMG! Did u make this up or did someone show u? either way - WOW! - The things a brain can think of!
Great job! Loved it!
i know that took a long time...and i would've never thought of that
woah! thx for taking all that time. it was fun!
good teaser
That was flippin' amazing! Took me a minute but I got it. I love palindromes...
I got it, but still thought it was really good!
better late than never!
better late than never!
WOW!!!
Good one!
Although I don't have much trouble spotting them, palindromes require a bit mental yoga that I just can't manage. I do get strange looks though, when I quote some of the more common ones. i.e. someone at work says they have a plan, and I quietly intone, "A man, a plan, a canal, Panama!"
And then there's the original palindrome: "Madam, I'm Adam," and the matching response, "Eve."

Summer reruns.
Great teaser! I loved it.
It was easy enough; I noticed "Dennis" and "sinned" and didn't need to check the rest.
I started out with a big question mark but when I saw "sinned," I got it. Wow! That must've taken a while to do! Great teaser!
Stared at it for a while then focused on sinned for some reason and it popped out at me! Fun one!
Took me a bit, but I got it!
I got it right away, but it must have taken quite a while to construct. Good one.
nice work!!.. Didnt get it.. tried first letters, tried backwards first letter.. heh.. palindrome - Of Course clever clever u and all u others that got it.. hehe..
Wow! Must've taken a long time to think of!
easy teaser is easy
I've also seen "Dennis sinned" so got it after only a few moments. Had I not been familiar with the shorter sentence, I cannot say I would have got this one.
Didn't get it, but liked the reminder to open up a little when I saw the answer!
I agree with Auntie Sis! Good one! Thanks for posting!
Really nice one there but it took me some time to figure it out cos I sure wasn't in the mood for a palindrome .....but anyway I think you really did a great job;)......
This is really weird, but no Biblical names have sinned. No Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Daniel, Abraham, Adam, etc.
Note; the middle letter in this palindrome is the "s" in "Sara".
I do recall seeing this one, so it was easy for me. Extremely clever and who ever originated this is a genius! Thanks for posting.
simple, fun. I am Dennis and I have sinned!
Glove this one. Found it easy as pie, but not very easy to construct. Great job.
Naturally I meant
I love this one, not glove.
I love this one, not glove.
Fun and entertaining teaser; I got it fairly quickly.
