  1. A Funny Story

    Share Share Post
    An Irishman and an American were talking one day. The American said "We have sky scrapers in America reaching to the clouds and ye have none in Ireland". "We have so" said the Irishman. "We have a Pillar in Dublin and it is so high we have to take it down every month to let the moon pass by".
