About this audiobook
Excerpt: "1. Why is ambition like a weathercock? Because it is a vain and glittering thing to aspire (a-spire). 2. What preserve would an egg name if it could speak? Ma-me-laid (Marmelade). 3. What is the difference between a schoolmaster and an engine driver? One trains the mind, the other minds the train. 4. Why are railways like laundresses? Because they have "ironed" the world, and occasionally done a little mangling. 5. Which is the most difficult train to catch? The 12:50, because it is ten to one if you do catch it. 6. What nation does a criminal dread most? Condem-nation. 7. What musical instrument invites you to fish? Cast-a-net (castanet). 8. What trees flourish best upon the hearth? Ashes. 9. Which is the queen of the roses, and why? The rose of the watering pot, because it rains (reigns) over them all. 10. Why is a dog biting his own tail like a good manager? Because he makes both ends meet."
