  1. A Funny Story

    Share Share Post
    One day a boy was being operated on, and there was something wrong with his brain. When the operation was over the doctor was in a great fuss. The father asked was there anything wrong. The doctor said that he had forgotten to put back the boy's brains. The father said "Not to mind, because he was going to make a teacher of him".
