  1. A Funny Story

    Share Share Post
    About ten years ago there lived in this village a boy whose delight was, telling lies and stealing.
    One day the Parish priest met him on the road with a cart of turf which he had just stolen.
    "Well Tom", said the priest where do boys who tell lies go".
    To hell father, answered Tom. "And now my boy", said the priest, "where do boys who steal turf". Tom slowly lifted his head and answered, "To the bog Father".
