A Funny Story
“Once upon a time an Irish man crossed over to England and he was very hungry.”
Once upon a time an Irish man crossed over to England and he was very hungry. He went into a house and the people were selling red herrings. He took one and he went down the street.
He was passing by a church and there was a preacher preaching. He went in to hear him and the man had the herring inside his breast.
The preacher said "Take it from thy breast". The preacher knew nothing about the herring and he looked down at the man. "How well you knew I had it"and he threw the herring at the preacher.
