  1. When was beef the highest.
    When the cow jumped over the moon.
    Over the fire, under the fire and yet it never touched the fire.
    A cake of bread.
    Why does a cow look over the wall.
    Because she cannot look under it.
    On the top of a hill four bottles turned down and they cannot spill.
    A cows four teets.
