    What goes with the coach
    Is no use to the coach
    Still the coach cannot go without it. Ans. Noise
    Black I am and much admired
    Many a horse and man I've tired
    They broke my bones and broke my face
    And carried me out of my native place. Coal.
    What is the diff, between a blind man & a sailor in prison
    One cannot see to go. the other cannot go to sea
