Alligators Quote by Berhan Ahmed

“When I was young, I had a big problem with warts. It started with one on the side of my little finger. A year later, I had it on all my fingers. My hands looked like the hands of an alligator. So I fist bumped people instead of shaking hands for a few years.” quote by Berhan Ahmed
