    A wee, wee pony grey and slim, a long, long, wooly tail growing out of him, a little man with a brass hood driving him all through the wood. A needle and thread and a thimble.
    Why is a sailor in hospital like a bind man? The sailor cannot go to sea and the blind man cannot see to go.
    Which is it the man with one eye or the man with two eyes that can see the most? The man with one eye, because he can see two eyes in the other man and the other man can see only one eye on him.
    When is a horse not a horse? When she is turned into a stable.
    What turns without moving? The road.
    What is the easiest county to draw? Cork, because you could draw it out of a bottle.
    What is always behind time? The back of the clock.
