Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for February 19, 2022

Padia Nopovici One time I got $10,001 from three hockey teams.

Mcom TDonald Riey Rogel One time I flushed ashes down toilets in 17 ballparks.

Some roads have been fitted with small bridges that allow crabs to cross them without being squished.

May the Lord be with you.

wouldn’t cremation ashes clog a toilet even if it’s in small amounts?

At Friday night services, Morris asks his friend Irving:. “I need a favor, I’m sleeping with the Rabbi’s wife. Can you hold him in synagogue for an hour after services for me?”

Irving is not very fond of the idea but being Morris’ life-long friend, he reluctantly agrees. After services, he strikes up a conversation with the Rabbi, asking him all sorts of stupid questions, just to keep him occupied. After some time the wise Rabbi becomes suspicious and asks, “Irving what are you really up to?”

Irving, filled with feelings of guilt and remorse, confesses to the Rabbi, “I’m sorry, Rabbi. My friend is sleeping with your wife, right now, so he asked me to keep you occupied.”

The Rabbi smiles, puts a brotherly hand on Irving’s shoulder and says, “You better hurry home, Irving. My wife died two years ago.”

Until next time.

I asked to have part of my ashes spread in the wife’s garden. She thought it revolting. Each year she spreads manure in the garden. So now I know where I stand……

Maybe those sand sculptures will inspire those taking part in the sand sculpture contest at Revere Beach this summer.

I’ve often suggested my wife carry my ashes in the trunk of the car in case she gets stuck in the snow.

Don’t you just love pranks done by nature?

Take care, may fossil denier Sarah “I Don’t Know What I Mean Either So You’re Not So Smart After All Are You” Palinord be with you, and gesundheit.

Instead of flushing those ashes, McDonald should have put them on the grass in the infield or outfield. Flushed ashes will simply end up in the sludge of the first downstream sewage treatment plant.

Forgotten American History: The Chicago massacre that took place in those sand dunes along Lake Michigan in 1812.

I didn’t know too much exposure to ice can cause skin cancer, until now

A friend of my son’s once remarked, “Friends are easier to con than strangers”!..

I wonder how much money Tom spent going to all those ballparks

And Nadia got to meet the Canucks staff member on their following visit to Seattle Kraken. That story got widespread coverage in the Canadian media.

Nadia’s story was a cool one

Somehow I don’t see being flushed down the toilet as a tribute.

Awkward!!
