If you pull a fly's wings off
does that turn him into a "walk"?

10. If you yell "JUMP!" to a frog, he jumps.
If you remove one back leg and yell "JUMP!", he jumps.
If you remove the other back leg and yell "JUMP!', he doesn't jump.
Conclusion:
If you remove a frog's back legs he goes deaf.

12. What do you call a dog with no legs?
Nothing, he won't come anyway.

What do you call a cow with two legs?
Lean beef.

14. Ever try putting a leash on a wingless fly?
:evilgrin:

Do the wings grow back?

Do the wings taste delicious?

Are they an aphrodesiac?

17. well, I never did....
...but this kid in my high school did. In one of our yearbooks, a note from the teacher was printed. It said, ______- ________ catches flies and then ties a string around the fly's neck as recreation during math class. If he does this again, I will send him directly to the principal's office."

The wings won't grow back once they are removed. I avoided a case of dysentery by not tasting the wings, so I don't know how they taste. :evilgrin:
