- I was on a visit to a neighbour's house. While I was there two Scotch came in. After a time I found out that one was a father to the other one's son. What relationship was between them?
Answer: Man and wife.Two fathers and two sons went into a hotel to have a meal. The tea cost one shilling each. They only paid three shillings. How was this?
A grandfather and his son and grandson - two fathers, two sons.A cart of people went over a bridge and there was not one single person in it.
All were married.Headed like a thimble, tailed like a cat. You could guess forever but you couldn't guess that.
A pipe.As long as my arm, as deep as a pail. It never falls out till it's caught by the tail.
A church bell.
