- (continued from previous page)394As round as an apple as flat as a pan one side woman and the other side a man?
A penny.As black as ink and ink it is not, as white as milk and milk it is not. It hops o the road like a marble stone and a marble stone, and yet a marble stone it is not?
A magpie.what goes through the wood and never tops the wood?
A knife in a man's pocket.What is the difference between a dead horse and a dead police man?
The dead police man gives up swearing oaths and the dead horse gives up eating oats.How far can a dog run into a wood?
Half ways in and half out.Breda McGillivray
