  2. What has two eyes and cannot see?
    A scissors.
    Long legs, short thighs, little head, and not eyes.
    A tongs.
    What is a one eyed servant? A needle.
    As I went in on yonder gap I met my uncle Aundy with iron nose and timber toes and God knows he would frighten the crows.
    A gun.
