Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for October 22, 2019

So a butt was how many pints?

Old maids, never been popped!

When my mom was a little girl, she had a maiden aunt whose only love had been killed in World War One. So, to avoid hurting their aunt’s feelings, they called the old maids “uncles.”

Many years ago I read (or heard in a movie commentary) that Turpin’s studio forbade to have surgery to correct his crossed eyes. Don’t know if that was true or not.

So THAT’S how much a buttload is.

When he pronounced Laurel and Hardy “man and wife” I laughed for days every time I thought of that scene.

Or “Old Pops”!

While talking about crossed eyes, dose anyone remember Clarence the Cross Eyed Lion? (Daktari 1966)

And thus the (Boston) Pork Butt. A butt (barrel) loaded with salted pork shoulders (processed in Boston)

I love the old maids that just partially pop. Yummy!

Uh, isn’t that popcorn slang a little blue for Ripley’s?

I thought they were called kernels

The liquid butts drove the development of anti-diarrhea agents…

a) How much was Ben’s policy and what was the premium, in 2019 dollars, and b) did he ever collect?

So, medieval butt dialing was calling for another round?

According to Rich Hall’s, “Sniglets,” unpopped popcorn kernels are flopcorn.
