    What went in dry and came out wet
    Tea
    What went up the stairs black and white and came down read
    A newspaper
    Black and white hopping on the road like hailstones.
    A magpie
    What is the difference between a milkmaid and a seagull.
    One skims water and the other skims milk.
    The more you walk the more you leave behind you.
    Footsteps
    What runs and can't walk whistles and can't talk.
    A train.
    Ink ank under a bank ten drawing four.
    A woman milking.
