  1. A funny story
    There was a man at the sports in Grange who told the following story.
    One day as he was walking down the street he saw a few boys argueing over a little dog. He asked them what were they fighting about. They said that whoever would tell the biggest lie would get the dog. "That is a very funny thing" said the man "I never told a lie in my life". The boys consulted together for a few moments then one of them said "we have decided to give the dog to you sir".
