  1. One fine day in the middle of the night, two dead men got up to fight, two blind men looking on, two cripples got up and ran.
    A lie
    Hink, hank, under the bank, ten drawing four,
    A woman milking a cow,
    When was there only two vowels
    In the () of Noah, before you and I were born,
    If you got 6 for walking a mile, what would you get for walking 30
    Sore feet
    If a ton of coal cost 30 what would 6 tons come to
    Ashes
    Patches over patches and no stitches
    A head of cabbage
