- I built a house from here to Donegal, what height would it be? The height of nonsense.
Always deaf always dumb,
She nine times nine within a room?
A ship
What is it that every body sees and you can't see it? The back of your head.
Up chip cherry and down chip cherry,
And all the men in chip cherry could not climb it? Smoke
It is not inside nor outside?
The threshold.
What smells most when it goes into a chemists shop? The nose.
What end of ears does and engine have?
Engineers.
Why is a railway like a blanket?
Because it is laid upon sleepers.
Why is a blackbird always a cheat?
Because he is never fair.
