- Over the water and under the water and never touches the water? An egg in a duc arse
Head like a thimble, tail like a rat you may guess for ever, but you will not guess that?
A pipe.
What are the three things that can't be got on this earth? A shoe for the foot of the mountain. A towel to wipe the face of the world and a sheet for the bed of the ocean. When did Moses sleep five in a bed?
When he slept with his fore-fathers.
Why did the hen pick the pot?
Because she ciuld not lick it.
