Comedians' column
A farmer was driving down the road, and he struck a rabbit. He looked back and saw the rabbit flopping about on the road. He thought the rabbit must be in great pain and decided to put it out of its misery. He was ready to kill the rabbit when another man drove up and told him to stop.
The second man took a bottle out of his pocket and gave the rabbit a few drops of the liquid inside the
bottle. The rabbit perked up its ears, jumped up, and ran away across a field. The farmer said: “That must be a very powerful medicine. What is it?” The other man said: “That's not medicine at all. It’s hare restorer!” 1. What do bees say in summer? 2. Why do dentists get fat? 3. What can you serve but not eat?
4. Why was the piglet named Ink? 5. Why should it be hard to open a piano? 6. What did the bald man say when he got a comb for his birthday? Answers: 1. ‘Swarm”. 2. Because almost everything they touch is filling. 3. A tennis ball. 4. Because he kept running out of his pen. 5. Because all the keys are inside. 6. “I’ll never part with this.”
