  1. A Funny Story

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time a man stole a cow of his neighbours. He went to confession and told the priest that he stole the cow. The priest said that it would be better for him to give back the cow to the owner or she would be casting him through hell on her horns. The man said no she would not for she was a Molly that means one with out horns.
