    Share Share Post
    One time Irish Paddy was in Dublin, and he was looking at the houses. There was a girl looking at him, and Paddy said to her these are lovely houses, "Not at all these are only Kennel's said the girl." "I was just thinking that" said Paddy, because I met a lot of pups down the street.
