- (continued from previous page)I fell on the ground, three feet overhead,
And the head of the living in the mouth of the dead.
A woman with a pot on her head.The longer it lasts the shorter it grows.
A candleI saw a ship going up the river
There were forty men in it, and yet there wasn't a single man in it.
They were all married. Why is a man beating an ass, compared to a stamp
The ass goes with a lick of the stick and the stamp goes with the stick of the lick.- Collector
