- What is the best thing to make in a hurry?
Haste.What is the ugliest hood ever worn?
Falsehood.Name a bridge that has not yet been crossed by a human being?
The bridge of your nose.When must a man keep his word?
When no one else will keep it.What goes round the house and round the house and sleeps in the corner at night?
A brush.What goes up a hill before a horse?
His breath.Once in a minute, twice in a moment and not once in a hundred years.
The letter M.If (i) was in the sun and (u) out of it want would the sun become.
Sin.Black and white and red all over.
A newspaper.When is a pup not a pup.
When he is a greyhound.What tree is found in a calendar?
The date.There is a little house and it would not fit a mouse and it has as many windows as the Lord Mayors house.
A thimble
