    Hairy in and hairy out
    And hairy into a hairy mouth.
    A leg in a sock
    When is a ten shilling note of no value?
    When it is compared to a pound.
    Why is a watch compared to a river?
    Neither goes far without winding.
    What kind of hair had Adam's dog?
    Dog hair.
    As round as an apple as flat as a pan
    One side a woman and the other a man
    A penny
