- (continued from previous page)Why is a key like a hospital?
It has wards.Why is an egg like a young horse?
It can't be used until its broken.What has a mouth but never speaks? A bed but never sleeps in it?
A river.If I were going in for an exam, why should I study the letter "P"?
It would make an ass pass.Why is a hen on a gate like a penny?
Because the head is on one side and the tail on the other.Why is an empty match box better than a full one?
It is matchless.What cannot run though it has three feet?
A yard.- Collector
