Scientifically speaking, there should be an echo! I assume ducks quack to communicate with other ducks nearby. However, wouldn't an echo confuse this rather addleheaded bird? Sorry, no ducks in the desert!

The reason firehouses have circular stairways is from the days when the engines were pulled by horses. The horses were stabled on the ground floor and figured out how to walk up straight staircases surprising the sleeping firemen upstairs.

It's possible to lead a cow upstairs, but not downstairs.

I pity the person who verifies that one. No one wants a whole bunch of cows upstairs

My dad has a large collection of Benny Hill shows. Sometimes when I visit him we sit down and watch some of them and laugh a lot. Benny Hill is a very funny man!

I remember when he tells how he and his buddies drag the dead circus elephant upstairs and sit it on the loo, so he can surprise his all-knowing wife with it.
Never argue with idiots, they'll just bring you down to their level and beat you with their experience.

A "jiffy" is an actual unit of time equal to 1/100th of a second.

There is no egg in eggplant.

An alarm goes off by going on.

When the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.

An ugly carpet lasts forever.

Did you know that with every passing hour, our solar system comes forty-three thousand
miles closer to globular cluster 13 in the constellation Hercules?

There is only one station on the London Underground that does not have any letters from the Word Mackerel in it. I'll give you a few hours to find it....
