Show RIDDLES. What is that which the dead and living liv-ing do at the same time? They go round with the world. When do your teeth usurp the functions func-tions of the tongue? When they are chattering. Why does an aching tooth Impose silence'on the sufferer? Because it makes him hold his jaw. Why is it easy to break into an old man's house? Because his gait (gate) is broken and his locks are few.- Why is your thumb, when putting on a glove, like eternity? Because it's ever-last-in'. When is a herring like a tired horse? When it is hard rode. What is that which is bought by the yard and worn by the foot? A carpet. Why is a wideawake hat so called? Because it never had a nap, and never wants any. Why is the lower part of a man's face shaved in January like a celebrated cele-brated fur? Because it's a chin-chilly. |
