Money Can’t Buy

(Sent in by Hinauri Strongman. Whangaruru.) A tooth for the “jaws of death.” A blanket for the “bed of a river.” A button for a “coat of paint.” A clip for the “tie of friendship.” A lock for the “trunk of an elephant, A lid for a “box on the ear.” A boat ftir the “river of years.” A sheet for the “cradle of the deep.” Clothes for the “naked truth.” Butter for the “toast of the evening."

You've no need to light a night-light On a light night like tonight,

For a night-light’s light is a slight light And tonight’s a night that’s light. When a night’s light like tonight's light It’s really not quite right To light night-lights with their slight lights On a bright light night like tonight. Think This One Out. A lorry-driver went down a noentry street, passed a red light, and went right at a keep left sign. How many fines could the police make him pay? Answer: None. The lorry-driver was walking. Left, Right.

A soldier lost his left arm in the war, and so his right arm was left, his left arm was not left, since it was cut off. and his left arm was right. If he had lost his right arm instead of his left, his left arm would have been loft instead of his right, but that’s not right, for his right arm was left, and not his left.
