  1. A Funny Story

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time there were an Irishman an Englishman and a Scotchman working together. Funds were very low. Among them they only had the price of one loaf which they brought. They decided on going to bed hungry and the one that had the best dream doing the night was to get all the loaf in the morning.The Englishman told his which was a wonderful one, the Scotchman told his which was more wonderful still and Paddy dreamt he was hungry during the night and that he got up and ate the loaf-which was true.
