Well, my initials are `act', not `jaw', but having a handy anagram
program, I took a stab at it.  I found 109 anagrams of four or more
letter words, using /usr/dict/web2 as a dictionary; the most amusing of
these (in my opinion) are `befit pimento', `fine temp obit', and
`finetop timbe'.  There were no anagrams that used all the letters.
If only this included a `c', I could get `net topic? fib me!'

(A full scan of all two or more letter words found 26,239 anagrams
of `fiomiebttnep' in about 8 minutes of cpu time on a Vax 8600.  If
anyone cares, I can mail it; it is 426062 bytes of junk, though,
and obviously I have not read it all myself.)
