Some anagrams are almost too good to be true. The letters in the capitalised words or phrases can be rearranged in delightful ways to fill the gaps!

e.g. Is my lovely _____ really a WOMAN HITLER?
Answer: mother-in-law

1. The _____ Church can be BEST IN PRAYER.

2. The school bully gave his victim NINE THUMPS as a _____.

3. Someone with BAD CREDIT can still manage to pay with a _____.

4. If you missed it last time, keep waiting, for _____ SHALL YET COME!

5. Perhaps because _____ could be a NICE SILKY WOMAN, a president fell for her!

Warning! The hint will give you the starting letters of all words. It will make the teaser quite easy, so only check if really necessary!

Hint

1. P__
2. P__
3. D__ C__
4. H__ C__ (around 2061!)
5. M__ L__

davidrools Mar 01, 2010	Excellent! Probably the best teaser I've seen here in the past couple years. Your sentences provided great clues. Also, the warning before the hint was true and much appreciated!
auntiesis Mar 01, 2010	I guess my brain was asleep because I had a very hard time with this one. A couple were quite easy, but some were killers.

wattsofawesome Mar 01, 2010	The first thing I saw when I was going to log on was "WOMAN HITLER" I just had to check it out! Nicely done!
mathisnice Mar 01, 2010	Excellent teaser - hope you make another one.
dalfamnest Mar 02, 2010	Thanks everyone - it's always encouraging to get some positive feedback. As you'll probably be aware, the anagrams themselves are not original, in the sense that I didn't invent them, but I've tried to make fun sentence clues. Brain + Laugh is a good recipe for a Monday TOTD! Oh, and i have a lovely mother-in-law!
piers Mar 02, 2010	Great teaser. I love appropriate anagrams - hence the 3 teasers I submitted. I look forward to seeing more of your teasers.
gaylewolf Mar 01, 2013	First one to respond in 2013! I love anagrams, but only got 2 on this quiz. Happy March, and have a wonderful weekend!
jaycr Mar 01, 2013	Fun one.

cutebug Mar 01, 2013	Missed #4 Nice teaser.
HABS2933 Mar 01, 2013	Missed the last two, even after the hint. Think if I had spent more time I would have come up with Monica Lewinsky, but not sure I'd have ever got Halley's Comet though.
