Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for December 27, 2019

That would be creepy to be on His Malice’s lap.

So did anyone have photos with the devil?

Take care and may God bless.

Isn’t it strange that Satan and Santa are each other’s anagram.

Don’t think I want to know how the turnout at the Christmas fair was after that typo.

That soap company also has a scented candle called “Cat People” with this copy on the label: “Smells like purring and a fresh hairball under your bare foot.”

And there are lots more on their website. Some of them sound like those non sequitur English titles of Japanese manga series.

That’s what happens when the Church Lady is your editor.

Around 1905 in St. Louis, Missouri there was a priest named Father Dempsey who was officially made a police officer (badge and all) so he could legally arrest reluctant and/or inebriated hobos in brutally cold winter conditions and confine them to a shelter till morning.

A “mistake”? I suspect it was not!

Walice Ells

Yesterday’s one said William Shatner sold his kidney stones for 25 grand, and I wonder how much he’d get for his gallbladder stones.

Take care and may God bless.

Middle child candle is BRILLANT !!! lol

For those who wondered how the typo affected the fair, (@jasonsnakelover, @bluegirl285) check out this link: https://www.narcity.com/news/ca/bc/pictures-with-satan-typo-leads-to-an-actual-satan-visit-at-courtenays-parade-photos

Hmmm. They both wear red, spend most of their time living in a deadly environment, have an army of impish minions, and will punish you for being naughty…. OK, Wow! I’m going to stop there, this is getting weird!

An NPR program replayed a segment where Satan responds to children who mistakenly printed his name instead of Santa’s name. Search for “Letters to Satan.”

Satan did make an appearance in Courtenay this year. It was a blast. I think the entire Comox Valley was there.

Alice had the power to arrest you, but she did not have the power to elect you.

“Santa” and “Satan” as anagrams? That’s “nasta!”

Years later, after she moved to the UK and changed her name to Susan Boyle, Ms. Stebbins Wells gave a prize-winning, arresting vocal performance on “Britain’s Got Talent.”

For a moment, I thought, “What’s the point of a police officer who can’t arrest anyone?” I suppose one could still direct traffic, distribute tickets, and report situations to more authorized officers.

For many children it would be an appropriate matching…

If anyone wants to know what the rest of the middle child candle says, ‘Go ahead and dye your hair purple. No one will notice’, which somewhat is o-k with me.

Satan/Santa — a sad commentary on the state of proofreading in our time.

I work at a country store where we sell products from the soap company. The “oldest,” “middle,” and “youngest” child soaps/bath bombs are quite popular. The subtitle on the “middle child” one is “Go ahead and dye your hair purple. No one will notice.”
