  1. A Funny Story

    Share Share Post
    Once there was a man and a woman that could not agree. The woman went to tell her clergy about the man that she could not bide him.
    “Did you try kindness” said the minister, “there is nothing better than kindness”
    As the Scripture says – “and heap coals of fire upon his head.”
    And she said “I have tried boiling water, Sir, and it was no use.”
