“What is the shyest thing in the world.”
What is the shyest thing in the world.
A clock because it covers its face with its hands.If Ireland was swept into the what county would float.
Cork.What is the smallest county in Ireland.
Cork because it will fit in a bottle.Why is the Grand Canal so much like a gaol.
Because it has so many locks and keys.What part of a cow goes out in a gap first
Her breath.What is it is too short and cut more off it, it is long enough.
A grave.Why does a cow look over a hill.
Because she can't look under it.On what side of a can is the handle.
The outside.What is smaller than a midge's eye.
The bit that goes into it.When was beef the highest
When the cow jumped over the moon.(continues on next page)
