    Q. Twenty-four white cows,
    Standing by the wall;
    In comes a red cow,
    And stands amongst them all.
    A. "A person's teeth and tongue."
    Q Two dead men fighting,
    Two blind men looking on,
    Two cripples running for the priest
    Two dummies telling them hurry on.
    A. "A Lie"
