Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for November 19, 2024

I had bacon wrapped rockfish last month and I was tasty. But I wrapped the fillets, not the whole fish.

I love Reading!

So, I was sitting on the bus just reading a book when somebody tapped me on the shoulder.

I turned around and saw an old lady. She said to me, “Sonny, would you like some nuts? I’ve got a couple hazelnuts and almonds if you’d like.”

“Sure.” I replied. She gave me a handful of nuts and went back to sit with her friends.

“What a nice lady,” I thought, while happily munching on the nuts.

A few minutes later, I felt another tap on my shoulder and there she was again, offering some nuts. I gladly accepted and she went back to her seat.

After about 10 minutes, she tapped me on the shoulder, once again offering some nuts.

I asked her, “Why don’t you eat them yourself?”

“Because we’ve got no teeth.” she replied.

“Then why do you buy them?” I asked.

“Oh, because we just love the chocolate around them.”

Reading books shouldn’t be a hobby! It’s getting to the stage when children don’t need to read some machine does it for then! I’m paraphrasing Zager and Evans here, but it’s coming true too soon.

I read a lot!

The bacon wrapped trout sounds good, minus the head.

Yummy! A whole unskinned, ungutted, fish wrapped in raw bacon.

I’ll have what he’s not having.

I used to read a lot, when I was young and had a lot of time and little money, especially when I was riding ships in the Navy. Usually, the only thing I read is Operators Manuals and online news and emails.

Yeah, that’s pretty much what I expected Ernest Hemmingway to eat.

Bacon makes EVERYTHING better!

What does the Diving Bell spider eat down there?

It was a huge grocery store and my first time there.

I asked an employee where the cereal was, and he said, “I’ll see.” And walked off.

5 minutes later, I asked another employee about the cereal, and he too said, “I’ll see,” and walked away.

I continued on and eventually found it myself. It was in aisle C!
