Does she like feet but not shoes

 

[Speicher]

Levad, that is correct.

A bloke was born before his father, killed his mother and married his sister - all legally.
How come?

His father was present at his birth. When he grew up, he became a public executioner and hanged his mum who had bumped off his dad after a row over who was in charge of the TV remote control. He was so upset afterwards that he immersed himself in religion, became a minister and presided over his sister's wedding.

Or something like that...

PS I thought hanging your own mum might not be allowed, so I've looked up the answer. Two out of three ain't bad! (Oh crap, now I'll have that damn Meatloaf song going through my head for the next few hours! )

She prefers beer to wine.

Correct

 

[rich p]

Correct

She's cooky not barmy

 

[Speicher]

It is supposed to be about what Sally likes or dislikes, not your opinion of me.

 

[shouldbeinbed]

she prefers cheese to chalk

 

[Speicher]

Correct, this one usually foxes people for a while. Perhaps it works better when spoken rather than written.

 

[Bayerd]

She prefers pizza to bread, and cheese on toast to beans on toast.

She also prefers carrots to parsnips

She also prefers bells to whistles

I wonder if she'd prefer bookkeepers to accountants, but both to bankers?

 

[Speicher]

Correct Bayerd, I particularly like the last one. Very subtle. Try it the pub, spoken, it's a lot more difficult then.

She would probably marry a bookkeeper.

 

[Piemaster]

She would marry in Leeds, but stay single in Staines

 

[Speicher]

She would like wedding cake.
