  1. Funny Stories

    There was an Irishman one time and he heard that if you went to London you would find money lying on the streets.

    There was an Irishman one time and he heard that if you went to London you would find money lying on the streets. He went over to London and happened by good luck to find a sovereign. He gave it to a blind man who was standing close to him. "Here" he says "you can't see them, and I will get plenty of them further down the street."
