Frozen water.
Why can you never drink a jug full of water.
When you drink the water the jug is empty.
How many jugs would it take to empty the red sea.
One of it were big enough.
What fruit is always on a penny.
The date.
How do you swallow a door.
Bolt it.
What's the difference between a cooper and a ship-builder.
