1. Why are miles-stones the most unsociable thing in the world
Ans. Because you never see two of them together
2 As round as an apple as plump as a ball can climb the church over steeple and all: Ans The sun.
4 As round as an apple, as deep as a cup, all the men in Ireland would not left it up - A Well
5 When is a man above his ears in debt - When he is wearing a hat that he did not pay for
6 Why is a window mender a good workman - Because he always takes panes at his work.
