Why is the end of G never short. Because it always ends long. What is it that we often return but never borrow. Thanks. Why is a king like a book. Because he has pages. What is the first thing you do when you fall into the sea. Get wet. What letter would be of great use to a deaf woman. The letter A because it would make her hear. Why are old maids like volunteers. They are always ready but seldom wanted. When is a rock not a rock. When it's a shamrock. What key is best for unlocking the tongue. Whiskey. What most frequently becomes a woman. A girl.
