    The Smoking Motorbike Rider

    I was driving on the motorway one day when a man on a motorcycle drew up alongside me. He gestured for me to wind my window down.

    I looked at the speedometer and I was doing 100mph!

    I wound the window down and the rider held out a cigarette saying, “Can you give me a light?”

    Amazed I replied, “Are you mad? You’ll get yourself killed!”

    To which the man replied. “No, No, I only smoke one a day.”

    Jonny Davies must go through a lot of shoes like that. What kind of motorcycle can go almost 159.52 mph? Seeing as he is British, that may have been a misprint and supposed to say 159.52 kph?

    The motorcycle stunt reminded me of the idea – just because it can be done, doesn’t mean you should do it.

    Robert Ripley would be appalled to see what’s become of his strip. So many of these entries are appallingly stupid.

    I’ve barefoot skied behind a boat, but I only needed to go about 38 mph.

    Story about the Mating Season

    A Russian scientist and a Czechoslovakian scientist had spent their whole lives studying the majestic grizzly bear. Each year they petitioned their respective governments to allow them to go to Yellowstone to study these wondrous beasts.

    Finally, their request was granted and they immediately flew to New York and then on west to Yellowstone. They reported to the local ranger station and were told that it was the grizzly mating season and it was much too dangerous to go out and study the animals.

    They pleaded that this was their only chance. Finally the ranger relented. The Russian and the Czech were given cell phones and told to report in each and every day.

    For several days they called in, and then nothing was heard from the two scientists. The rangers mounted a search party and found the scientists’ camp completely ravaged. No sign of the missing men.

    They then followed the trail of a male and a female bear. They found the female and decided they must kill the animal to find out if she had eaten the scientists because they feared an international incident.

    They killed the female and cut open the bear’s stomach… only to find the remains of the Russian.

    One ranger turned to the other and said, “You know what this means, don’t you?”

    “Of course,” the other ranger nodded, “The Czech is in the male.”
