Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for June 15, 2024

Spain just had to have that little peninsula for it’s wealth

Till he was 90, and then he de-parted.

(It’s ok – I’ll do the groaning for you)

I hope Roger hasn’t cut off any ears in all those years.

I’m not having much luck with jobs lately.

I wasn’t suited to be a tailor.

The muffler factory was just exhausting.

I couldn’t cut it as a barber.

I didn’t have the patience to be a doctor.

I wasn’t a good fit in the shoe factory even though I put my soul into it.

The paper shop folded. Pool maintenance was too draining.

I got fired from the cannon factory.

And I just couldn’t see any future as a historian.

Wow! A 90-year-old cutting hair! There’s no way that could be true! These Believe It Or Not stories are getting more and more incredible!

I have been using an electric hair clipper for the last 25 years ever since my barber used one with me for several years. Before showering, I use 4 of the different attachments, a little shorter in summer than winter, it takes less than 10 minutes, about every 5-6 weeks. I save a ton of time and money. If I live to 90, I will still probably be cutting my own hair. If you decide to try doing it yourself, it pays to spend more for a better quality one that cuts better and lasts longer, wired is better than rechargeable.

Wow on Milan! Seems a little overreaching!

Hopefully, he’s still cutting hair because he enjoys the work and interacting with people and not because he must do it for financial reasons.

“National Border,” an imaginary line (a non entity) whose only function is to start wars.

Funny that: Spain clams this rock peninsula in Africa to make up for the fact that England claims that rock peninsula in Spain.

With Peñón de Vélez de la Gomera, it’s possible to walk from Spain to Morocco. Nice.

279 feet huh? With the tide in or out?

You don’t ban pizza in America, let alone Italy

WOW! They eat late in Spain! Who knew?
