- (continued from previous page)One if it were big enough. When a cow is going into the byre, what part goes first? Her breath. I went up a road,
And I came down a road,
But I carried it on my back?
A ladder. What carries its heart in its head? A cabbage. What's a foot in Carrick? Twelve inches.
- What grows in the wood and sounds in the town and earns a man many a pound? A fiddle.Long legs, short thighs, wee head and no eyes. Tongs. The rough rugged rascal ran round the rough rock. How many r's in that? "That" has no r's. If 12 cows are standing in a round ring after each other, how many of them could say, "My head is touching my neighbour's tail"
None of the cows could speak.6, 7, 10, 11, 3 and 2 how many is that? 5.What is full of holes and yet holds water? A sponge. Blacky and whity [sic] went up the hill,
Blacky came back and whity stood still.
A hen and an egg. - Collector
