Saw these on another list and thought all might enjoy.

Does anyone remember the nyuk, nyuk about why fire engines are red?

	Four times three is twelve, twelve inches make a ruler.
	A famous ruler was Queen Elizabeth.  
	The Queen Elizabet sails the seas.  The seas are full of fish.
	Fish have fins. The Finns fought the Russians.
	Russians are red.
	So fire engines are red because they're always rushin'.


There is also proof that a horse has an infinite number of legs.

By inspection and symmetry we see that a horse has an even number of
legs.
However, when we count them, we see he has two legs in the back and
forelegs in the front, which is a total of six legs.
Six is certainly an odd number of legs for a horse.  The only number that
is both odd and even is infinity.  Therefore, a horse has an infinite
number of legs.

Enjoy
God Bless!
