- What is the diff between a girl and a [?]
One powders the face & the other faces the powder.What is it that we see once & never see again?
Today
What do you make long by cutting a bit off it
A grave. - Patch upon patch without any stitches
Riddle me that and I will buy you a pair of breeches"
A head of cabbage.If a man got 6d for walking a mile
What would he get for walking 20 miles."
Sore feet.In a garden was laid a most beautiful maid
As ere could be seen in the morn
She was made a wife the 1st hour of her life
And she died before she was born.- Collector
