Ripley's Believe It or Not has been presenting the incredible and the unusual in illustrated form since Robert Ripley's first "Champs and Chumps" comic published on Dec. 19, 1918. Currently, B.I.O.N. is illustrated by John Graziano, who has been working as an artist and illustrator since 1983, when he received a certificate in illustration from the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Arts. He has designed trading card sets and a portrait series based on the 1960s cult TV show "Dark Shadows." John has also created comic strips for "Scream Queens" magazine, designed t-shirts graphics and created storyboards and concept drawings for Hollywood films. Researcher Lucas Stram has worked since 2004 as the voice behind the cartoon, reviewing potential stories, filtering through the hundreds of weekly submissions and putting together the stories for John to bring to life. New submissions are always welcome. Just click here.

Good motto. They should bring it back into use.

And of those 145 waterskiers, 32 were bitten by sharks, 28 by Saltwater Crocodiles, 16 were bitten by Blue Ringed Octopi, 15 were stung by Box Jellyfish, 4 were stung by Stingrays, 3 were bitten by sea snakes, and one was bitten by a Koala that was being taken to the Hobart Zoo by boat, got loose, and fell off.

They need to make it “Mind Your OWN Business.”

If you consider that in some parts of the country, “business” is another word for genitalia, the phrase “Mind your business” takes on new meaning.

As a majority of one, Mr. Jenkins doesn’t have much trouble passing resolutions. Of course, he’s rather restricted in his group bargaining power and resources as well.

The current administration would change it to “We will mind your business.”

Similar situation at Indiana Tech (Ft. Wayne) one time – a fraternity had not been getting new members pledged – and after one graduation ceremony the fraternity was left with ONE member!
(A new concept in fraternities!)

Unions of one are my favorite kind. When did the motto get dropped?

The Continental Congress ‘coined’ a phrase!

Nobody can say, “I don’t like what you’re doing. Let me speak to your supervisor!”

“Mind Your Business” was a motto on many flags in the USA including one used for early Florida.

A union requires two or more coming together for a cause. It’s not possible to have a union of one
