  1. A Story

    Share Share Post
    There were three men one time a Scotch man an English man and an Irish man. They bought three asses. The English man went out to see them in the morning and he cut the tail off the Irishman's ass. When the Irish man went out he split the sides of the English man's ass. When he came in he said to the English man the tail fell off my ass and yours split his sides laughing at him.
