Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for July 17, 2022

I am of part German descent. My dad used to eat those raw beef sandwiches!

Those two food-related facts are making my head spin, but good on Ripley’s for accomplishing such an impressive feat, even relative to the other facts they feature. I never would have expected the Ripley name to leave such a mark on ichthyology.

Well, here’s the first contribution from me this evening.

I have found that I have been happier since I switched from coffee to orange juice.

My doctor explained that it’s the vitamin C and natural sugars, but personally, I think it’s the vodka.

When I make you breakfast in bed, fresh eggs benedict, local picked wild flowers and freshly pressed orange juice, get into bed next to you and wake you with soothing classical music, a simple Thank you would suffice….

Not all this how the heck did you get into my house business.

Until next time.

That Cannibal sandwich is probably the one thing I would put ketchup on.

There is a delicacy in Hungary called Tatar beefsteak. It is marinated raw beef. I had an American friend when invited, said “I won’t eat raw hamburger!”. Finally he tried it and liked it very much. I would have had easier job to convince him to try it if I knew it is also a traditional meal in Wisconsin. By the way, the Hungarian version contains black pepper powder, and mustard too. I think Wisconsin version should be also marinated, because marinating kills bacteria, does similar thing as cooking.

A doctor was addressing a large audience in Oxford. "The materials we put into our stomach should have killed most of us sitting here, years ago.

“Red meat is full of steroids and dye. Soft drinks corrode your stomach lining. Chinese food is loaded with MSG. High transfat diets can be disastrous and none of us realizes the long-term harm caused by the germs in our drinking water. But… There is one thing that is the more dangerous to us all and most of us have had it, or will have it. Can anyone here tell me what food it is that causes the most grief and suffering for years after eating it?”

After several seconds of quiet, a 70-year-old man in the front row raised his hand, and softly said, “Wedding Cake?”

Until next time.

And WHY would you want to procreate sharks??

Cannibal sandwiches were eaten as “good luck” gesture at weddings

I’ve got to save something for tomorrow, but just came across this one again, and it made Mrs. Fogwhistle smile, so here goes.

Each Friday night after work, Bubba would fire up his outdoor grill and cook a venison steak. But all of Bubba’s neighbors were Catholic….and since it was Lent, they were forbidden from eating meat on Friday.

The delicious aroma from the grilled venison steaks was causing such a problem for the Catholic faithful that they finally talked to their priest.

The Priest came to visit Bubba and suggested that he become a Catholic. After several classes and much study, Bubba attended Mass, and as the priest sprinkled holy water over him, he said, “You were born a Baptist, and raised a Baptist, but now you are a Catholic.”

Bubba’s neighbors were greatly relieved, until Friday night arrived, and the wonderful aroma of grilled venison again filled the neighborhood. The Priest was called immediately by the neighbors and as he rushed into Bubba’s yard clutching a rosary preparing to scold him, he stopped and watched in amazement.

There stood Bubba, clutching a small bottle of holy water which he carefully sprinkled over the grilling meat and chanted:

“You wuz born a deer, you wuz raised a deer, but now you are a catfish.”

Until next time.

The Oscar Madison approach to meals is now an idea of food companies.

They are NOT Cannibal sandwiches! Those are WILDCATS!!! We use to eat them as kids. They are delicious , but make sure the meat is fresh.

I raise my own beef – I never cook it…

Shark artificial inseminator. Yeah, that’s the job I’ve been looking for.

Yummy? Cannibal Sandwiches are obviously made with human meat

I remember they caught a Great White Shark and put him in the Roundabout aquarium in SF, which has an artificial current in one direction. Lots of people went to see it, but it never adapted to the environment and they released it a week later

Steak Tartare?? My Mom used to give us a bit of raw ground beef on a saltine cracker with some raw egg yolk on it and a sprinkle of salt…. YUMMY!!

I don’t know if this has been posted here before but here goes.

A family went to a nudist camp for their vacation.

The son came back to the tent and shouted, “Wow Mom! You should see some of those girls. They have got this HUGE…..”

“Yes, well”, his mother sniffs. “The larger they are, the dumber the woman.”

Next day, the boy comes back to the tent again. “You won’t believe some of the guys out there. They have this HUGE….”

“Yes, well, like I said, the bigger they are, the dumber the man.”

“Really”, said the boy, frowning with puzzlement. “We might be in trouble, Mom.”

“Why do you say that?”

“Because Dad’s out there talking to a really stupid girl, and he’s getting dumber by the minute.”

OK the guy who inseminates the female is a brave man, but the guy who collects the sperm WOW

One of my brothers was always asking our mom to buy him a metal detector, which she never did. Too bad he didn’t get one and go to Switzerland!

Good evening Ripsters,

I’ve been a truck driver for 40+ years. 20 of them over the road.

I was heading west on I-10 in Arizona when I saw a state trooper turn his blues on and fall in behind me.

I sped up to 80 mph and kept going. After about 5 miles I saw 3 more state troopers join the chase.

I sped up to 90 mph and the race was on. After about 10 or 15 miles there were 6 troopers and they finally got me to stop.

While I was laying face down on the shoulder the lead trooper ask if I had seen them chasing me.

I sure I saw y’all. He ask, Then why didn’t you stop.

Will I said, You see, My wife left me for an Arizona State Trooper and I thought you were trying to bring Her Back .Have a Blessed Night all

Everywhere else it’s called Steak tartare

If the good Lord had wanted us to eat raw food, he wouldn’t have given us fire.

I have three Roman coins that supposedly came from a stash found at a construction site in what is now Turkey.
