Her breath.A herring and a half for a penny and a half. How many for 11d?
Eleven herrings.What is the difference between a woman's tongue and an umbrella?
An umbrella you can shut up but a woman's tongue you cannot.What thing is in a car and no good to it and yet it can't go without it?
The noise.Why so does the hen pick the pot?
Because she could not lick it.Why so does the cow look over the ditch?
Because she could not look under it.- Collector
