Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for May 21, 2020

how long ago was the Italian fiasco of wine in the taps?

Another word, IMHO, for “continental breakfast” is “insult”. That’s no breakfast! :D

Why would there be a physical connection between a winery and a pubic water supply line…?

As opposed to the American Cholesterol breakfast?

And for a little while, Modena Italy was the happiest place on Earth!

Say, did Neil Diamond and UB40 ever visit Modena?

No wonder Brexit happened, I have eaten British breakfasts, they are NOT continental!!!!

is that why Ferraris are red?

…and next came the idea of cable wine.

Nah, it was from a card game.

Take care and gesundheit.

Every time someone tries to fix the “technical problem” at the winery, they mysteriously disappear.

Did anybody in Modena complain?

Come tourista, visit the happiest town in Italy…

I don’t see how a wine tap is possible unless the winery gets its water from the same source as the town. Guess it is possible

I like George Carlin’s idea of a continental breakfast: French toast, Belgian waffles, Irish coffee, Polish sausages, English muffins, Spanish omelet…

I imagine people in Modena cried every time they flushed the toilet!

In Britain, breakfast at B&Bs was heavy hearty and elaborate, eggs, meats, breads, cereals hot and cold, pastries, although haven’t been to one in decades.

I never liked the expression “Continental” used in America. In Britain it would make sense, but here I feel like asking, “Continental? You mean, North American?”
