- (continued from previous page)When is a penny like a hermit.
When it is a loanWhy should Ireland soon be rich.
Because its capital is DublinOne hundred eyes and cannot see
Soup.What are the most unsociable things in the world.
Milestones. You never see two together.Why is a miser like a man with a bad memory.
He is always forgetting.What has a neck and body and nothing else.
A bottle.Which ship do we all like to avoid.
Hardship.What is that which never asks questions yet requires many answered calls.
The door-bell.Why should a hen never be untidy.
Because she carries a combHow can you cure a slow horse.
Tie him to a post and make him fast- Collector
