    If a fellow met a fellow in a field of beans said a fellow means how many f s in that - none "T h a t"
    If a man got sixpence for walking thirty miles what would he get for walking a hundred miles - sore feet
    Why is a drawn tooth like something you have forgotten - because it is gone out of your head
    What is it the older it get the smaller it grows - a candle
    What is it that has teeth and cant chew - a comb.
