  1. A Story

    Share Share Post
    There is a story told about where a crowd of men were working on a building. One man fell and was killed. The other men wanted to know who would break the news. A French man offered to go. He knocked at the door and said, "Are you the widow Malone." No she answered. You are he answered, your husband is as dead as damned.
