- What is the smallest knot in the world?
The spider's knot.Why have men no beards when they reach heaven?
Because they only get there by a very close shave.Two saw it, one smelled it. Five plucked it. Ten handled it and one eat it. What was it.
An apple.
The eyes saw it, the nose smelled it, one hand five fingers plucked it, ten fingers handled it and one mouth eat it.
