- Why did Adam bight the apple Eve gave him.
Because he had no knife.What trade has the sun.
A tanner.Where was the first candle lit.
At the top of the wick.When is a farmer like a dentist.
When he is pulling out stumps. Why is a man who runs in debt, like a clock.
Because he goes on tick. Too short, cut a bit off and it is long enough.
A grave.The man that made it never wore it, and the man that wore it never saw it.
A coffin.As I went up to St Ive's Imet seven men and the seven men , had seven wifes, and the seven wives had seven sacks, and in the seven sacks were seven cats, how many went to St Ive's.
One.
