Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for August 12, 2022

Longtime friends of The O.F.W.T.J. (Old Men Who Tell Jokes) Society know that I tend to intersperse jokes with true stories, with the occasional “could-be” anecdote thrown in here and there for good measure. I thus present the following probably-true story about an old hoofer/movie star/curmudgeon:Julius Marx, known to most of us as Groucho, loved his cigars, whether on stage, a movie set, or just out-and-about. One day, as he boarded an airplane, he asked the stewardess – this was decades before the term “flight attendant” was introduced, as well as a long time before smoking was banned on all flights – if he could smoke a cigar on the plane.“I suppose so, Sir, if you don’t annoy the ladies,” she replied.Groucho’s eyes lit up and his brows raised. “You mean I have my choice?”

Six million and one U.S. dollar bills made into compost according to Jason.

So there really could be a money tree?

Talk about wasting money!

Cow flop makes even better compost, just consult your local politician, you’ll see.

Take care, may relentless rabbit hunter Elmer “People Wondew Why I Want To Catch That Danged Wabbit Well Way Back When I Was In Gwade Schoowel And He Was Just A Widdle Bunny Wabbit He Made Fun Of The Way I Talk In Fwont Of My Giwl Fwiend So I Went Home And Got Gwampa’s Shotgun And I Will Get That Danged Wabbit If It’s The Wast Thing I Do” Fuddord be with you, and gesundheit.

They’re great at making compost in Washington D.C. – LOL

That’s why it so hard to hit a rabbit even with a rabbit swatter.

Is there a way to get a bag or two of that compost? My garden might like it.

10,000 benches? Are there any trees left?

10,000 benches in Central Park. Places for the homeless to sleep?

That’s almost 1 bench for every mugger…

Why is with that vision, I still managed to shoot a few when hunting them!

There are some plants you can’t use that compost on. It’s too rich.

And nowhere else in New York to sit.
