    An Irish man with clothes on him,
    As green as grass,
    And every person puts something into his mouth?
    - Letter-box.
    A big strong woman,
    Without any broom,
    And she sweeps the ground,
    As clean as a board?
    - The wind.
    Why does a cow look over a fence?
    - Because she cannot look under it.
