TEXTS
1) The surgeon was his mother.
2) It was day time.
3) A square manhole cover can be turned and dropped down the
diagonal of the manhole.
A round manhole cannot be dropped down the manhole. So for safety
and practicality, all manhole covers should be round.
4) The poison in the punch came from the ice cubes. When the man
drank the punch, the ice was fully frozen.
Gradually it melted, poisoning the punch.
5) The man had hiccups.
The barman recognized this from his speech and drew the gun in
order to give him a shock.
It worked and cured the hiccups-so the man no longer needed the
water.
6) Too wise you are too wise you be
I see you are too wise for me
7) If the grate be empty put coal on
If the grate be full stop putting coal on
Don't put coal on over a high fender
You'd be an ass to risk it
The first two lines I knew from childhood in UK
The last two I found recently - obviously US origin
8) He was a light house keeper.
9) He was the only man, all the others were women.
10) Take the second glass from the left, pour its contents into the fifth glass from the left, then return it to its original position.
11) One person took the basket with the last egg in it.
