    (continued from previous page)
    As I went through a guttery gap I met my Uncle David. I took off his hat and drank his blood and left his body easy?
    (a bottle of whiskey).
    What is full all day and empty at night?
    (your boot).
    What has a white face, a quick mother and a lazy father?
    (a clock).
    What is alive at night and dead in the day time?
    (a lamp).
