London.
What makes more noise at a gate than a pig
Two pigs.
Why is a pig in a kitchen like a house on fire.?
Because the sooner its put out the better.
What the smallest bridge on earth?
The bridge of your nose.
Why is the letter F like a cow's tail.?
Because its the end of beef.
Ink ank under the bank and ten drawing four.
A woman milking a cow.
Red white olive and green the king cannot get it neither the queen
A Rainbow.
When was beef the highest
When the cow jumped over the moon
Here I stand and far I see
A black bird's nest in a holly tree.
Twill fight the bull and kill the bear.

It is in the shop and it is not sold
The Sun.(continues on next page)
