Where did Noah strike the first nail in the ark? On the head.
When was paper money first mentioned in the Bible? When the dove brought the green back to Noah.
What was the difference between Noah’s ark and Joan of Arc? One was made of wood, the other was Maid of Orleans.
There is a word of three syllables, from which if you take away five letters a male will remain; if you take away four, a female will be conspicuous; if you take away three, a great man will appear; and the whole shows you what Joan of Arc was? He, her, hero, heroine!
Why was Leander voluntarily drowned? It was through his-whim (his swim) only!
What’s that? what’s that? Oh, I shall faint,
Call, call the priest to lay it!
Transpose it, and to king and saint,
And great and good you pay it?
Spectre; respect.

Devoid of all symptoms of life-giving breath;

Ere Adam was, my early days began;
I ape each creature, and resemble man;
I gently creep o’er tops of tender grass,
Nor leave the least impression where I pass;
Touch me you may, but I can ne’er be felt,
Nor ever yet was tasted, heard, or smelt.
Yet seen each day; if not, be sure at night
You’ll quickly find me out by candlelight?
