Boring repost is like copypasta, only in image form. OP gets 1/10 stars, would not bang.

[–]Erosindra 1 point2 points ago

Well... What a great time to read that. I have a stuffy nose.

[–]YoureTheVest 3 points4 points ago

I give you the source! The image has appeared elsewhere, but no one else seems to have heard the story. Richard Dorson, the folklorist who wrote the book, got this story from Yim Suk-jay, who heard it from a schoolboy in 1915.

Seriously, what the fuck did you just read?

[–]Royaltomsolo -1 points0 points ago

And they lived happily ever after.
