  1. A Funny Story

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time Paddy the Irishman, and paddy the Englishman and Paddy the Scotsman were walking under a bridge.
    When they were halfway under the bridge it began to break, they did not know what to do. All of a sudden Paddy the Englishman shouted "Lord have mercy on us" Paddy the Scotsman shouted "God have mercy on us" and Paddy the Irishman said "I think we have enough on us when we have the bridge on us."
