Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for August 28, 2023

Lottery players don’t just play once, how many years did he play and how much did lose through the years?

And this is exactly why FDR has been on the dime since 1946, for those who wish to replace him.

My bank gives me the runs.

His mom gave up on curing her hiccups, thus the nurse wrote the name on the birth certificate of her baby Fekru Hirpo.

Aaaaannnndddd ….. GESUNDHEIT.

I think my bank ran out of money. I tried to do a withdrawal at one of their ATMs. I couldn’t get any money… the screen just said “Withdrawal Denied — Insufficient Funds”.

And now the March of Dimes mails dimes to people in the hopes they’ll respond by sending back more money!

That’s quite a run on a bank.

My cousin was the March of Dimes Poster Child in 1969. He was 5 at the time. I’m a few years older than him, and I remember all of the press our family got. He wasn’t expected to live as long as he has. He is still going strong!

So it was Eddie Cantor who coined that term! (so to speak)

The name “The March of Dimes” is a play on “The March of Time,” a weekly newsreel shown in movie theaters from the mid-thirties to the early 50s.

I remember those dime booklets in churches and stores. They had pictures of kids on crutches. Once filled, they were sent away.

Thanks for nothing, RBION! Please post the lottery numbers!

Some of that polio research funding went to Salk and Sabin and they have effectively eliminated polio amongst those who get vaccinated.

I would not have thought to ask the “Makin’ Whoopee” guy.

With a name like Fekru Hirpo you need a little luck in life.
