- What town in Ireland spells the same backwards as forwards?
Navan.Why is a proud lady like a drunkard?
They are both fond of the glass.As black as ink, as white as milk and hops on the road like hailstones?
A magpie.What turns without moving?
Milk turns sour.How many beaks does a hen put on the ground while she picks ten grains of oats?
One.Headed like a thimble, tailed like a rat, you may guess forever but you would never guess that?
A pipe.What has an eye and cannot see?
A needle.What is put on the table, cut, and never eaten?
A pack of cards.- Collector
