What is the difference between a dead duck & a dead doctor.
Both of them gives up quacking.
As I walked out as I walked in death was outside that life was in five were sad & one was free, riddle me that or hanged I will be.
A head of a horse(s) with a (rokins) robins nest in the eye.
What goes from Kilkenny to Cork without moving.
The road.
What key is a poisonous one?
Whis-key
What is everybody doing at the same time.
Growing old.
As round as a apple as flat as a pan the whole of a woman & the half of a man.
A penny.
