Anagrams

I was never worth much when it came to anagrams, the silly mental exercise of rearranging the letters in a word or phrase to make a new word or phase. My mother was very good at it, but this is not an inherited trait. I am telling you this so you will not suspect that I had anything to do with the following except steal them shamelessly from an e-mail and copy them here while waiting for traffic on Intracounty 275 to thin out.

At the risk of insulting your intelligence, for each pair of words or phrases, rearrange the first one to get the second one:

DORMITORY
DIRTY ROOM

PRESBYTERIAN
BEST IN PRAYER

ASTRONOMER
MOON STARER

DESPERATION
A ROPE ENDS IT


THE EYES
THEY SEE

GEORGE BUSH
HE BUGS GORE

THE MORSE CODE
HERE COME DOTS

SLOT MACHINES
CASH LOST IN ME

ANIMOSITY
IS NO AMITY

SNOOZE ALARMS
ALAS NO MORE Z 'S

A DECIMAL POINT
IM A DOT IN PLACE

THE EARTHQUAKES
THAT QUEER SHAKE

ELEVEN PLUS TWO
TWELVE PLUS ONE

MOTHER-IN-LAW
WOMAN HITLER

My favorite of this bunch:
ELECTION RESULTS
LIES - LET'S RECOUNT
