- (continued from previous page)Head like a thimble, tail like a rat. You may guess forever but you couldn't guess that? A pipe.
What is it that a man doesn't like to have and he can't do without? A bald head.
As round as an apple
As deep as a cup
And all the king's horses
Couldn't pull it up? A well.
What city would fit in a bottle? Cork.
I went up the road and down the road and I carried the road on my back? A ladder.
What goes from house to house and never walks? A footpath.- Collector
