Why is A like twelve o'clock? Because it's the middle of day.
Why is a hen on a gate like a penny?
Because the head is on one side and the tail on the other.
Who was the fastest runner in the world?
Adam, because he was the first in the human race.
What tune makes every body glad? Fortune
What miss is that whose company nobody wants?
Misfortune
At what time was Adam married? On his wedding Eve.
When does a man weigh most? When he is the heaviest.- Collector
