- What is the shyest thing in the house?
A clock because it has its hands on its face.What goes up when the rain comes down?
An umbrella.What turns without moving?
Milk.Why does a sailor know there is a man in the moon?
Because he went to sea (see).What has a tongue and can't talk?
A boot.What side of a cup is the handle on?
The outside.The man that made it did not want it, the man that used it did not see it?
A coffin.As I went out in a slippery gap I met my uncle Davy. I cut off his headd and left his body easy?
A head of cabbage.What has an eye and can't see?
A Needle.A housefull, a roomfull, you could not catch a spoonfull?
Smoke.I washed my hands in water that never did rain or run and dried them in a towel that never was woven or spun?
I washed them in the dew and dried them in the sun.Why is toffee like a racehorse?
The more you lick it the faster it goes.What has a mouth and can't talk?
A river.
