  1. (continued from previous page)
    Fire under and fire over and never touches fire? (Cake in an oven)
    Why does a hen pick a pot? (because she can't lick it)
    As flat as a pancake, as round as a pan one side a woman and the other a man? (Penny)
    Two black men and one white man went out in a car, the two black men ate the white man what was the no of the car? (281)
    As I looked out my grandfathers window, I saw two dead men fighting, two dummies talking, two deaf men listening, two cripples running for the peelers, two blind men looking on? (lie)

  2. God bless those who honour Good Friday. Good Friday is the day our lord was crucified. With a crown of thorns from his head to his heart from his heart to his side. Up come a Jew with his sharp spear and pierced his tender heart. His Blessed Mother standing by with a heavy heart and a dismal cry.
    Anyone who says this prayer shall never die in debt or danger.
