  2. A Funny Story

    Share Share Post
    Once a band of men said to a man that if he would go into a vault and bring out a skull they would give him a crown.
    The man went in and brought out a skull. A voice said "put that back that's mine." He brought out another and he heard the same words. He brought out another and he heard it again.
    "How can they all be your's" asked the man. "I'm taking this one," and he won the bet.
