- How would you compare a steep hill with a bottle of medicine!
One is hard to get up and the other is hard to get down.
What sleeps with its head in its mouth.
A spamsel for a cow.
Why does the chimney smoke
It can't chew.
If a goose was up on the house where would you get her down?
Under her wing.
Forty sheep went out a gap
Six, seven, ten, eleven, three and two,
How many is that?
Five
How many cuts of a knife does a well-pointed scallop want?
None.
