  1. A Story

    Share Share Post
    An English man and a Scotch man and an Irish man were arguing one day as to which of them had the best hearing. The English man said that one night he was stopping in a house and he could hear a man in the next room changing his boots. The Scotch man said that one night he was stopping in a house and he could hear a man in the next room changing his clothes. "Och" said the Irish man "I was stopping in a house one night and I could hear a man in the next room changing his mind".
