There are four brothers in this world that were all born together.
The first runs and never wearies.
The second eats and is never full.
The third drinks and is always thirsty.
The fourth sings a song that is never good.

OANST 07-01-2009 01:41 PM

Nate 07-01-2009 05:50 PM

Orifices in the human body?

The first runs and never wearies: Nose.
The second eats and is never full: Mouth (because it's the stomach that gets full).
The third drinks and is always thirsty: Urinary tract of some description.
The fourth sings a song that is never good: The anus.
