- (continued from previous page)Twenty white cows tied with a stall
One red cow comes up and licks them all.
Your tongue licking your teeth.
- The more you take out of it the larger it gets?
A grave.
Four little bottles on the side of a red hill,
The joles of them turned down and they can't spill?
A cows teats.
It is not within or without, but it is under the thatch? A window.
Look at your hand and you will see,
What never was nor never will be?
No two of your fingers are the same length.
Why doesn't a horse get hungry when he is pulling a load?
Because he has a bit in his mouth.
What part of a cow goes over a fence the first? Her breath.
The man that made it never wore it,
And the man that wore it never saw it?
A coffin. - Collector
