- (continued from previous page)What man in Waterford wears the biggest hat? The hat with the biggest head.As I went up the hill I met my Uncle Davie
I cut off his head and left his body easy.
A head of cabbage.When is a knife very rude?
When it cuts cake.Why is a pen manufacturer a bad character? He makes people steel pens and tells them they do write.Why should a horse never be hungry?
He has a bit in his mouth.What is it that never was and never will be? A mouse's nest in a cat's ear.Forty sheep upon a gap, forty more upon that, twice eleven. six and seven, four and five. How much is that? Nine.Why is the kitchen bell never saucy?
The servants answer it and it never replies.Why is a dirty boy like flannel? He shrinks from washing.
