    Smoke
    What is the shiest thing in the world
    A clock because it keeps its hands on its face
    Why is a plum-cake like the ocean
    Because it contains many currants
    What is taken from you before you get it.
    Your photograph
    What is it that never asks questions yet requires many answers.
    The door bell.
    At what time of the day was Adam born
    A little before eve
    What can you fill a barrel with to mak it lighter
    Holes
    Why is Sunday the strongest day in the week
    Because all the rest are week days
    When does a chair dislike you
    When it cannot bear you
    Nov 16th 1937
