Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for October 09, 2022

Dogs in bars…seems there are more of them than there are priests, ministers and rabbis in bars, doesn’t it? Well, look out – here comes yet another…or is it the same dog?

The bartender looks up from toweling down his bar to see a man walking in with a dog. “Hey, aren’t you the guy I threw outta here yesterday because your dog couldn’t talk?” he asks the man.

“But, Sir, I can talk!” says the dog. “I can also sing, whistle, and tell jokes!”

“Amazing,” says the barkeep, who is amazed. “Go on.”

“Not only that; I once stopped a terrorist by sniffing out his bomb at the airport – and I was also a champion sled dog in The Iditirod.”

The bartender turns to the man and says, “I gotta have that dog! How much do you want for him?”

“Ten dollars.”

“WHAT?!? Just ten dollars for a dog like this? Why so cheap?”

“I can’t stand a liar.”

Shoes, meat, butter, gasoline and anything else critical to the war effort we’re rationed. Civilian automobile production was halted so that factories could be used to build tanks, airplanes, jeeps, etc. Approximately 12 million Americans were in uniform out of a population about half our current population. That’s all worth thinking about when we ponder Russia, Ukraine and Putin’s threats to use nuclear weapons.

It’s true about the genetic driving skills. Almost everybody that died during teen driving school didn’t have children that could drive properly either.

Regarding Japanese liking Kit Kat bars, it’s because of the semi-translation of キットカット (kitto katto) to mean “will surely win.”

It’s a comic strip, give it a rest!

Japan also has way more varieties of KitKat than other countries. If you or someone you know is visiting there, and you’re a fan of candy, you should see if you can get ahold of some.

For reference, supposedly there’s a 1.6% chance of twins in Europe, and a 3.2% chance of twins in the U.S.

Kit Kat candy bars lucky? That must be due to an association with Hello Kitty!

I don’t know what’s going on, but I always looked forward to Steve’s jokes.

How many pieces of Kit Kat bars do they break off for good luck?

Is that why all the Nigerian scam letters look alike? :D

Well, if you mess with your jeans while driving you will have poor driving skills. Duh.

Take care, may twin cobblers Dean and Dan “Time Wounds All Heels” Eyeletord be with you, and gesundheit.

Umm, I don’t think I’ve ever bought more than 2 pairs of shoes in a year….lol

I watch a LOT of videos about Japan of all types, have watched probably a dozen Japanese Kit Kat taste tests conducted by Japanese people in Japan, have even had a virtual tour of a Kit Kat STORE in Japan and have never once heard that they’re considered lucky.

I have never bought more than one pair of shoes and two pair of sneakers (usually one) a year.

I had no idea that it would be possible to be banned from Ripley’s. I’ve been commenting in Quora recently; now, that is a platform one would be proud to be banned from. They make little sense. Keep up the good work. Someone is doing some good research.

This has nothing to do with Politics, Religion, or any other issue that some may find offensive.

It’s just about a guy named Bubba.

It’s a bit dated though.

But here we go.

Everybody knows Bubba.

Boudreaux and Bubba were talking one day, when Bubba said he was goin’ up to visit Billy Graham.

Now Boudreaux don’t believe him and ask if he could go.

Come on let’s go said Bubba

Off they went,and sure nuff they had a fine visit.

Bubba said he wanted to go see President Bush, you got it. They went and had a great visit.

I have a twin brother. I call him Spary, if I ever need a spare part he will be good for that

Next Bubba said he wanted to go see Pope.

Yep, they went to the Vatican.

They were standing in the crowd listening to the message,when Bubba leaves.

Boudreaux stands there amazed when he sees Bubba walk out and stand with the Pope and wave to the crowd.

Bubba sees Boudreaux pass out,and rush’s down to help his friend.

He ask Boudreaux if he passed out because of all the famous people he had met.

Boudreaux said, " No,what got me was when this big guy right here tap me on da’ shoulder and ask,

Who’s that up there with the funny hat wavin’ with Bubba?"

Rationing to two or three pair per year? I just checked my closet, no pair of shoes under two years old, and only one pair that young. In fact I have my wedding shoes from twenty-four years ago.

And into the breach go I: ;-)

A man left work one Friday afternoon. But, being payday, instead of going home, he stayed out the entire weekend partying with the boys and spending his entire paycheck.When He finally appeared at home, Sunday Night, he was confronted by a very angry wife and was barraged for nearly two hours with a tirade befitting his actions.Finally, his wife stopped the nagging and simply said to him, “How would you like it if you didn’t see me for two or three days?”To which he replied. “That would be fine with me.”Monday went by and he didn’t see his wife. Tuesday and Wednesday came and went with the same results.Come Thursday, the swelling went down just enough that he could see her a little out of the corner of his left eye.

Yewubar has summoned the bees to rescue Afton.

Seriously? Candy bars are good luck? Give me a break!

I see the family reunion sign, but do all the cars belong to the people at the reunion? One car is upside down. If all the people live there, then there is no reunion. Habits are learned from observation.

If your genome contains 100% human DNA, you have poor driving skills.

Not ME, of course. I’m the only good driver. It’s the rest of you who can’t drive.

2 or 3 pairs/yr.! I don’t even get 1/yr.! (& nobody knew it ’til now.)

The cartoonists who have their works represented on GoComics follow rules of content, so it is not surprising that comments should be expected do the same. So-called ’adult humor’ is often in conflict with those rules, and there are other sites more suitable for that type of humor – if you seek it. This is not an age restricted site and exists for the enjoyment of all, so all content should be tailored to that fact.

Mrs. Murphy was walking down O’Connell Street in Dublin when she met up with Father Brennan.

The father said, “Aren’t ye Mrs. Murphy, and didn’t I marry ye and yer man two years ago?”

“Aye, that ye did, father,” she replied.

Father Brennan asked, “and be there any wee little ones yet?”

“No, no, not yet, father,” she answered, eyes downcast.

“Well now, I’m going to Rome next week and I’ll light a candle for ye and yer husband,” he told her.

She replied, “oh, thank ye, father.” Then they parted ways.

Some years later they met on the street again. Father Brennan asked, “well now, Mrs. Murphy, how are ye these days?”

She replied, “oh, very well, father!”

He asked, “and tell me, have ye any little ones yet?”

“Oh yes, father,” she exclaimed. “Three sets of twins and 4 singles. Ten in all!”

“That’s wonderful,” the priest said. “And how is yer dear husband doing?”

She replied, “e’s gone to Rome to blow out yer freakin’ candle.”

The “cartoon in a cartoon” of the info on the left is really FUNNY!!!

As it is now, I usually get only one new pair of shoes a year.

I’m wondering who needs two or three new pairs of shoes each year.

I hope the Yoruba aren’t among the Nigerian tribes that have killed twin babies out of superstition.

I can attest to that. My grandmother/mother/uncle/aunt were all very distracted drivers. Thankfully I was adopted.

2-3 pairs shoes a year? I have bought a pair of shoes in at least 10+ years. I guess retirement saves wear and tear on them.

Like poor driving skills, stupidity can be genetic. And sometimes they go hand in hand

Can we limit anti social media posts to 2 or 3 a year?
