  1. A Funny Story

    Share Share Post
    Long ago an American landed from a ship in Cove and he went to a hotel. He went in and ordered chicken and other dainty food. The waiters stared at one an other and the man shouted at them to hurry as he was in a hurry. The waiter exclaimed. "Sir if we had that we would eat it ourselves first"
