Why is latitude like a clothes-line ?—Because it stretches from pole to pole. Why is a used-up horse like a bad play ?—Because it can’t run and won’t draw. Why is a telescope like time?—Because it brings things near. Why is a baker a most improvident man?—Because he is always selling what he kneads (needs) himself.
