Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for November 09, 2021

Rolivier Ichters One time I was 7 feet, 2 inches tall.

Vatik Pritthal One time I was 3 feet, 3 inches tall.

I bet between the two statements, people will be more inclined to believe the second one is true about me.

Shoppers once stuck their feet in a radiation emitting box to make sure their new shoes fit.

May the Lord be with you.

I’m a 5’ 16" body destroyer………And I have the scars to prove it!

Since 2 of the RBION drawings are of bodybuilders, perhaps it’s time for a joke on that topic.

The body builder takes off his shirt and the blonde says, ‘What a great chest you have!’ He tells her, ’That’s 100 lbs. of dynamite, baby.’ He takes off his pants and the blonde says, ‘What massive calves you have!’ The body builder tells her, ’That’s 100 lbs. of dynamite, baby.’ He then removes his underwear, and the blonde goes running out of the apartment screaming in fear. The body builder puts his clothes back on and chases after her. He catches up to her and asks why she ran out of the apartment like that. The blonde replies, ’I was afraid to be around all that dynamite after I saw how short the fuse was." Ba-da-boom.

The triangles of Nepal’s flag are meant to represent the Himalayas.

An old man found a small mirror in an antique shop. “Why,” he said, looking into it closely, “this picture looks just like my daddy!” He bought it and walked home, proud of his purchase. “But the wife never liked my daddy at all,” he thought, “so maybe I should hang this picture where she’ll never see it.” So he hung the mirror up in the tool shed. Over the next few days, the wife noticed her husband kept going into the tool shed, never taking out any tools. “He’s up to something,” she thought. Being of a jealous and paranoid nature, she wondered, “Is he messing around with some broad in there? That would be just like him!” So one day, when the old man was out running errands, the wife opened the tool shed and stepped inside. She gaped at the small mirror on the wall. “That old goat is messing around with someone, and he likes her so much he hung up her picture!” she exclaimed. “And she’s the ugliest old broad I’ve ever seen!”

Speaking of national flags, from 1977 to 2011, Libya was just solid green without any symbols, pictograms, nor writing.

The CIA has an opening for an assassin.After all the background checks, interviews and testing were done, there are three finalists: two men and a woman.

For the final test, the CIA interviewer takes one of the men to a large metal door and hands him a gun. “We must know that you will follow your instructions no matter what the circumstances . Inside the room you will find your wife sitting in a chair. Kill her.”

“You can’t be serious. I could never shoot my wife,” the man says.

“Then you are not the right man for this job,” says the interviewer. “Take your wife and go home.”

The second man is given the same instructions. He takes the gun and goes into the room. All is quiet for about five minutes. The man then comes out with tears in his eyes. “I tried, but I can’t kill my wife.”

“Sorry,” says the spook. “You don’t have what it takes, either, so take your wife and go home.”

Finally, it’s the woman’s turn. She’s given the same instructions to kill her husband. So she takes the gun and enters the room. Shots are heard, one after another. The CIA interviewer hears screaming, crashing, and banging on the walls. After a few minutes, all is quiet. The door opened slowly and there stands the woman, wiping sweat from her brow.

“Your stupid gun was loaded with blanks,” she says. “I had to kill him with the chair.”

I guess one could possibly argue a square is a non-rectangle (if it is, why do we bother calling it a square?)

Then Switzerland.

Bodybuilder Olivier seems to be preoccupied with something down there in his diaper.

Olivier and Pratik should get together and open a limbo bar.

Take care, may popular and not deceased recording artist Chubby “Thank God For Saxophone” Checkord be with you, and gesundheit.

I guess that’s the long and the short of it.

The Swiss flag is SQUARE!

I must have missed that episode of Flags with Sheldon.

I wonder if Oliver has been able to make a paying career out of his physical qualities?

In college, I could a course in nutrition. The textbook had a picture of a vegetarian body builder.

Wonder why Japan doesn’t have a round flag for the rising sun, but I guess it would be too hard to run up a pole

So let’s see…which one of those 2 body builders was picked first and which one was picked last when divvying up players for basketball or volleyball in school?

Those two would make a helluva stage show!

The flag has a 30-degree angle and a 45-degree angle. The flag for the state of Ohio is a pennant.
