  1. How many wells would make a river?
    One, if it was big enough.
    As I was going to Dangan,
    I met a man hanging.
    I ate his flesh and drank his blood
    And left his body hanging.
    A blackberry.
    Two white men and a black man went out motoring. The two white men ate the black man. What was the number of the car?
    281 (Two ate one)
    Why is a bar of toffee like a racehorse?
    The more you lick it the faster it goes.
