- Why does a hen pick a pot?
Because she cant lick it.
Once in a minute twice in a moment and never in a thousand years.
The letter 'm'
When was beef the highest it had ever been?
when the cow jumped over the moon.
What have you to dig a bit out of to make it longer?
A grave.
A ship went up the river with ten men in it and yet there wasn't a single man in it
They were all married.
The longer it lives the shorter it grows.
A candle
Fire under, fire over and white in the middle.
A cake in a baker.
why is a dog compared to a tree?
Because both lose their barks when dead.
