Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for August 14, 2021

greetings to all, and my heartfelt thanks to all of you who prayed for me and wished me well – especially those who don’t like what i post, but who are nonetheless part of the faith community, as i am myself, and are willing to put our differences aside for the broader picture. thank you all.

And why i’m typing like archy the cockroach is that i still have no use of my left – primary – arm. yes, i’m officially a northpaw for at least awhile. [well, that, and because i’m a big don marquis fan.]… i have some good jokes lined up for that not too distant future time when i have more use of my left side and less dependency on the iq-suppressing drugs which also have an analgesic side effect. thanks again, gocomics readers and especially rbion community. you are appreciated.

how long did the ten grand bank note go into circultion?

Then the woodchuck chucked the dog. “Why did you do that? Now we’ll both drown,” said the dog. “You knew I was a woodchuck when you picked me up,” said the woodchuck.

From Wikipedia:

The Federal Reserve began taking high-denomination currency out of circulation and destroying large bills received by banks in 1969. As of January 14, 2020, only 336 $10,000 bills were known to exist, along with 342 remaining $5,000 bills and 165,372 remaining $1,000 bills.12 Due to their rarity, collectors pay considerably more than the face value of the bills to acquire them, and some are in museums in other parts of the world.

Ah, yes, “note.” The pedants won’t let us use the word “bill.”

One of the Casinos in Vagus has a display if the $ 10,000 .00 bills , it is said to be a million dollars .

Also, on that same day as Wally’s woodchuck ride, and even more startling, Jill’s daughter Elaine put on her socks.

Take care, may introverted, guarded, and paranoid yet still eaten potato Spud Zord be with you, and gesundheit.

About 20 years ago, while I was attending a coin collectors show one of the vendors had both a $5,000 and a $10,000 bills at his booth. Instead of selling them, he was charging people $10 to have their picture taken holding them

2 believes cause I already knew and 1 REALLY??? – my dogs have all barked and chased woodchucks – so somewhat hard to believe a dog would give a woodchuck a ride willingly without barking.

Actually, Wally would be a ferry, not a taxi.

The way things are going with the demented one in off you are going to need one of those just to buy a gallonof gas soon.

That bill, or note if you prefer, doesn’t look any larger than all the other bills.

The bills were removed to make it harder to transfer large amounts of illegal cash, like drug cartel money. The drug cartels just bought bigger trucks and forklifts.

So glad the NASA engineer invented the super soaker to protect astronauts on future missions to the moon and Mars.

Dr Johnson was able to retire from NASA and provide a good life for his family.

I remember when I was in high school, the last day of school was a school-wide water fight. Well everybody was on their way to school on basically the only road that led to the school the flight was on.Mostly the guys with cars that could carry lots of water balloons prevailed.

One year a pickup truck with a 55 gallon drum of water and a hand pump was totally kicking butt. Driving down the street and pretty much soaking down anybody on the sidewalk. It was an awesome annual event.

That was one lazy woodchuck.

The Super-soaker and six robots on Mars. Our tax dollars at work.

Making other countries pay for their own defense? Like Afghanistan? Why didn’t Trump (the Unreinstated) think of that? /S

What was the most successfully selling toy ever? The Frisbee? The Slinky? Legos? Some hi-tech gizmo? This inquiring mind wants to know.

I have a 100 quadrillion dollar bill from Zimbabwe. Does that count?

The woodchuck just wanted a free ride.

Uber is now hiring dogs for customers who wish to enjoy a ride on water.

I remember seeing a $500 and $1000 bill when I was a real youngin’

I love the new artist’s sense of humor!
