  1. A Funny Story

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time two boys were going to school and their names were Jack and Tom. One day the master asked Tom "What was (was) his name", and he said "Tom" but the master said "no it is Thomas". Then he asked Jack what was his name, and he answered "Jackas" (ass).
