Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for May 02, 2022

Brevity, They say (whoever They are) is the soul of wit. Therefore, I’ll endeavor to be at least half brief:

A salesman rings the doorbell, and the door is answered by a twelve-year-old boy with a cigar in his mouth. He has a glass of bourbon in his hand, and a Playboy magazine tucked under his arm.

“Hello, young man,” the salesman begins. “Is your mother home?”

The young man answers, “What do you think?”

The Hoh Rain Forest has plenty of noise pollution from naval jets flying training missions!!!!

Vampire Bats

A vampire bat flies back to the roost with his face and mouth covered in blood. All the other bats got excited and asked where he got it.

“Follow me” he says. They flew over hills, a river and a dark forest.

“See that tree over there?”

“Yes, yes” the others excitedly answered.

“Well, I didn’t!”

40 kg of wool sure is going to make a lot of winter sweaters/jumpers

Did you know my printer loves music? It’s true. It loves to jam. (That’s a joke. Someone actually made that up, and thought it was funny. At least it’s short!)

It seems the Ripley crew would prefer us to leave the planet. Okay then.

I would be interested to know what the PETA folks think of that sheep story. They think that shearing sheep is cruel. But the sheep went years without being shorn and was suffering. Shearing was merciful, not cruel.

My ex begs to differ with you on surviving on merely a pint of blood.

Take care, may proud noise polluter Donald “After My Covfefe Every Morning I Paint Myself Orange And Make America Disgusted Again” Frumpord be with you, and gesundheit.

In the Northeast Kingdom of VT we may still have human noise pollution but the birds and critters keep it in the background.

Vampire bats are one of only 2 mammals that can subsist on just blood – don’t forget trolls.

does the sound of a hiker fart in the woods make noise pollution?

“I love my job!” exclaimed the farmer. “The peace, the sunshine, the animals in the fields!”

“All you do is boss me around all day!” complained one of his sheep.

“What did you say?” challenged the farmer.

The sheep glared back and growled, “You herd me.”

Humans have nothing to fea.Vampire bats prefer to feed off cattle.And they’re so quiet most cattle don’t even know they’ve been nicked.

The Chupacabra only lives on blood too.

Now that it’s in this comic strip, people are going to build a high-rise luxury condo on the Hoh River, and divert an interstate or state highway over to it, maybe install an airport or two….

Steve Silver are you still under the weather? Hope you feel better soon!
