    Because there is a bank over it.
    Why is Chapel St. like a coalmine?
    Because there is a Cole in it.
    What month do the women do the least talk?
    The month of February.
    There is something on you, you don't feel it, it is no weight?
    Your name.
    Why is Market St. like Scotland?
