Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for May 16, 2012

Where the Italians trying to corner the market in junk bonds?

Rightly so. I wouldn’t be seen dead in one.

Hey, Luigi, posso borrow soma lire? O dolare?

If the tree were to fall it would take the office with it.

Drive-through funerals, a perfect compliment for the drive-by shootings

Have the auto towing and recovery prices ’gone through the roof, also?

No chance that that will happen to me…..I’m going to be cremated. They can drive through and view my urn if they’re so inclined!

Lets not start that Greek urn thing. The Greeks have already stuffed the market enough.

The sad thing is, the counterfeit Treasury bonds turned out to be worth more than the genuine ones are.

That company has branches everywhere.

Somewhere around Pigeon Forge Tennessee used to be a restaurant called the Apple Tree Inn. When I was a kid it had an apple tree growing right in the middle of the restaurant where you could see it. Many years ago, I returned- it was boxed in with little windows so you could look and see the tree if you wanted to- not much point, you can see trees through windows all over the place. And the food was not so hot. Biggest disappointment since Little America’s horrible scrambled eggs cooked in rancid grease and plenty of it.

Especially if they have kids along that would have to be uninstalled and reinstalled in all the restraints now available.

Wouldn’t there be more counterfit than real bonds?
