One time I sampled 61 navels.

For 20 years, the Alaskan town of Talkeetna had a tailless orange cat named Stubbs as mayor.

May the Lord be with you.

Coolidge’s hippo, named Billy, is actually allegedly the ancestor of the majority of pigmy hippos alive today.

The next pictograph on that Egyptian scroll was the first mime being buried with hungry scarabs.

The Belly Button Biodiversity project team is part of the Naval Academy…

Don’t you just love Hippopotamus jokes? I’m pretty sure this one has been posted before, but it’s been a while.

A man and his hippo walk into a bar. It’s about 5pm, but they’re ready for a good night of drinking. They start off slowly, watching TV, drinking beer, eating peanuts. As the night goes on they move to mixed drinks, and then shooters, one after the other. Finally, the bartender says: “Last call.” So, the man says, “One more for me… and one more for my hippopotamus.”

The bartender sets them up and they shoot them back. Suddenly, the hippopotamus falls over dead. The man throws some money on the bar, puts on his coat and starts to leave. The bartender, yells: “Hey buddy, you can’t just leave that lyin’ there.” To which the man replies: “That’s not a lion, that’s a hippopotamus.”

Until next time.

I’m going to close out my RBION theme jokes for tonight.

A very well off young couple held their wedding in Africa, inviting and paying for a few dozen of their best friends to attend. After the marriage ceremony there is a fabulous dinner, and to start things off there are multiple toasts to the newlyweds.

A stutterer was at the wedding, and he stands up and says, “hip, hip.”

And then everyone on the wedding party said with their glasses raised,“HURRAY”

The stutterer, tried again, but louder, “HIP!! HIP!!”

Everyone raised their glasses again and shouted out of their lungs!“HUURRAAAAY!!!!!”

The stutterer, again, yelled with both arms raised! “HIIPPPP!! HIPPP!!!”

Everyone on the party became one, all the happiness expressed with one single shout, “HURRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!”

But then, everyone was killed by a herd of Hippopotamuses.

Until next time.

And then, a little girl decided she wanted Billy for Christmas.

Those hieroglyphics probably say, “Don’t bother, they’re here.”

I missed the Championship Game between The Naval Academy and The Bellybutton Academy. I wonder who won.

Take care, may giggly birthing nurse Hortense “C’mon Outa There And Have Some Coffee” Neonord be with you, and gesundheit.

It was a word in the comic itself

Billy was also the name of Jimmy Carter’s pet brother

i always knew Silent Cal had unplumbed depths!

And remember,when large numbers of hippos are out of work,unemployment results.

We really do learn something new, every day & every night- that was one of my most favorable provers & beliefs! (I’m referring to the Clown history fact above)!!

The clowns would be buried with the disliked rulers to torment them forever.
