Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for March 23, 2021

OK, comics fans, tonight feels right for THE classic. Be prepared to read what you’ve read before…but be prepared to laugh:

A man walks gingerly into a drug store. He asks the proprietor, “Do you have any talcum powder?”

“Walk this way,” says the proprietor.

“If I could do that,” the man replies, “I wouldn’t need the talcum powder.”

I know a joke about a fisherman, and I think I can make it fit with a few modifications:

A fisherman is walking home with a big bag, and he sees his friend and says “I caught some mutant sharks today! Got them in the bag here.”

So his friend says “Hey, if I can guess how many mutant sharks you have, can I have one?”

And the fisherman scoffs and says “If you can possibly guess that in one try, you can have both of them!”

Paul lost his wallet from the very deep south since 1958? Wow. How was it even recovered? By some other Antarctic researcher?

Dang. Gots to be careful with em penguins. I never knews they steals yer wallets.

There are a lot of birds that eat other birds. They’re called raptors.

That’s one messed up shark. Now I’m sad.

Quick! Get that shark a new set of dentures!

Mr Grisham surely got his money laundered.

A toothless Shark means that you die of boredom while it tries to eat you!

According to a documentary, I saw, the finches’ main diet is blood from boobies. A titmouse would be too small.

As I suspected Ripley’s is not giving ALL the information again. The shark was not “skinless” per se rather is was missing its epidermis with the embedded dermal denticles (the shark’s equivalent of scales, that are composed of the same material as the shark’s teeth)

So the shark was not given Orbit, Dentine, or even Wrigley’s?

Take care, may Mediterranean Diet eschewer Philippe Gargantua Belchord be with you, and gesundheit.

Cold cash.

Turns out the shark was just changing into his swim suit.

‘Vampire Finches’ vs. Murder Hornets’.

"Let’s all go tp the drive-in’Let’s all go to the drive-in…’

The money was missing, and the ID was for someone else, but it sure looked like Paul’s wallet, as he remembered it.

Without teeth, he just had no skin in the game.

Paul, any old money in there could be worth more than face value.

Ever been bitten by a Vampire Mosquito? Oh, wait. ALL mosquitoes are vampires…

Unfortunately, by then the penguins had maxxed out all his credit cards.

What’s covering the shark’s body if not skin (maybe plastic bag)? How did his Inners stay put?

I don’t imagine the other birds like that much.

So the fishers have found a shark that ran into a loan shark…

I’ll bet that condom crumbled to dust.

I guess that shark could only eat jelly-fish?

I wish I could be “reunited” with my photo album, that I sent home from Nam, in ‘69. I sent it in a package but it never made it here. It makes me sick to think about it.
