    Share Share Post
    What side of the mug is the handle on?
    On the out-side.
    What goes through the fair and and their heads down?
    The nails in a mans boot.
    Why is a lame dog like a man adding a sum?
    Because he puts down three and carries one.
    What is the strongest thing in the world?
    A snail because he carries his own on his back.
    Why is the sun like a loaf?
    Because the sun rises from the East and the loaf rises from the yeast.
