  1. A Funny Story

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time a man went out to dig potatoes. The potatoes were so big that three of them filled a bucket. The man was telling this to another man and was boasting about it. The other man said "I went out to plough a potato field the other day and the sock of the plough got caught in a big potato. The potato was so big the horses could not pull the plough through it. That ended the first man's boasting.
