q('A man walks into a bar with a newt on his shoulder. Everyone gathers around and starts asking him about his unusual pet. <em>\"What do you call it?\"</em> asks the barkeeper. \"<em>Tiny</em>,\" answers the man. <em>\"Why Tiny?\"</em> <em>\"Because he\'s minute!\"</em> replies the man and walks out of the bar again.~This joke makes better sense when it is spoken, otherwise you might think that <em>minute</em> is referring to the 60th part of an hour. In fact, the word is being used here with its other meaning (i.e. very small), and should be pronounced <em>my newt</em>. Hence the joke! <p class="klein">[A newt is a little amphibian like a salamander.]</p>');
q('Have you heard the one about the pig that lost its voice? It was feeling very disgruntled!~The name for the sound a pig makes is <em>grunt</em>. If you are disgruntled, it means you are irritated and dissatisfied.');
q('Why do you call your horse <em>blacksmith</em>? - Because he\'s always making a bolt for the door!~A bolt is a metal rod that is pushed across a door to keep it from being opened from the outside. This kind of metal object is made by a blacksmith (who also makes horseshoes). The expression <em>making a bolt for ..</em> means <em>running away to ..</em>. So a horse that makes a bolt for the door is trying to escape out of the stable door.');
q('How do you send a spaceman\'s baby to sleep? - Rocket!~A spaceman gets into space in a rocket. If you want to send a baby to sleep, you rock it!');
q('Why is that sheep scratching itself? - Because it has fleece!~You scratch yourself if you have fleas. The word fleece, that sounds like fleas, means the woolly coat of a sheep.');
q('What\'s the difference between a robber and a church bell? - A robber steals from the people and a church bell peals from the steeple!~The joke is in the play on the words steals/people and peals/steeple. (A steeple is a church tower where the bells are located; and to peal means to ring.)');
