    A Because it never takes its own note.
    Q Why is an umbrella like a pancake
    A Because it is seldom used after lent
    Q Why is a little dogs tail like the heard of a tree
    A Because it is furthest from the bark
    Q Why did Adam bite the apple Eve gave him.
    A Because he had no knife
    Q There is a thing twas three weeks old
    When Adam was no more.
    Yet this same thing was four weeks old, When Adam was no more.
    A The Moon.
