  1. Ques = My head and tail both equal are,
    My middle slender as a bee,
    Whether I stand on head or heel,
    Its all the same to you or me,
    But if my head should be cut off,
    The matters true, although in strange,
    My head and body, severed thus
    Immediately to nothing change?
    Ans = The figure eight.
    Ques = What is the difference between a tree and an aeroplane?
    Ans = One leaves its sheds and the other sheds its leaves.
