Harry S Truman was a haberdasher. However, this story has nothing to do with our 33rd President…A tailor’s assistant tried to make a suit, but it came out badly – one arm longer than the other and uneven buttons. Still, it was made from expensive material, and the tailor resolved he would sell it somehow. Then an elderly gent walks in, looking for a new suit, and the tailor shows him the suit in question. “But it doesn’t fit me!” the gent complains.

“Sir, that’s only due to your poor posture – apparentl no one ever taught you how to stand up properly.” The tailor then proceeds to instruct the man: “Hand that arm down. Lower! Now point your hip that way. There, now – look in the mirror!”

The man looks at his reflection, and, sure enough, the way he was now standing made the suit look, well, tailor made for him, so he pays for the suit and begins to leave the haberdashery.

“Remember what I told you about your posture,” the tailor reminds him.

Two old ladies cross the street see the gent leaving the tailor’s premeses. “Oh, Mabel,” one says to the other. “Just look at that poor crippled man!”

“Crippled, maybe,” her companion replies. “But poor? No way! Look how nice that suit fits!”

Costco pizza is actually pretty good, from what I recall, but I haven’t had any in ages.

What was it like in 2014 when it came to Costco hotdogs and baseball stadiums’ dogs?

Dang, that plant makes a venus fly trap look like a joke, a rank amateur in the plant eats animal world.

He routinely squeezes whaaaaat?

Oh waitsaminute. You said pennies. Uh.. Ha ha. Silly ol’ me.

Even with the the flimsy copper plated zinc composite of pennies that is still some pretty impressive hand strength on the part of Mr. Rider.

That’s because you can get a hot dog AND a drink at Costco for a buck-fifty. Bottled water cost more in most places…

Does that mean that people ate fewer Costco hotdogs after 2015?

That guy should join ZZ Top.

Who buys hot dogs at Cotsco???? I’d rather go to the street cart!Actually… I’d rather fast… but even if I decide to end it all, and die of “eekiness”, I’d go to the street cart.

His parents are so proud.

Send them to New York. Or to Old York.

Take care, may compost spreader Jane D’Oh Rakeord be with you, and gesundheit.

COSTCO will probably double their hotdog lead after the Georgia debacle.

Evidently, Costco’s Wiener Team peaked in 2015, and it’s been downhill since. Who’s to blame for the lesser sales in years 2016 through 2020? That’s the REAL mystery that Believe It or Don’t! needs to get at!

That’s even less appetizing when you remember that it includes the still living rat’s hole…

I hope that rat-eating plant can be transplanted to the NYC subway system!

Good way to bruise those knuckles Chris. The only trick here is to not mind that it hurts.

The plant mentioned is named for Sir David Attenborough

I’m betting Costco’s success was due to the fact that they weren’t charging $12 each for a hot dog.

The pennies are then used for already chewed gumballs.

Rodrigo Duterte receives at least 3 plants per week anonymously.

COSTCO has 804 locations, open 7 days a week, 10½ hours a day. Major League Baseball has 30 locations, usually 5 days every other week, about 4 hours a day.

I don’t know which creeps me out more, rats or some plant that eats them. Re using the plants for pest control: boy, the start of a fun horror movie. “The Giant Rat-Eating Plant That Evolved to Unfortunate Effect”.

Great service to humanity…But can he open a bag of Potato Chips barehanded with out breaking one?…

I had an old wrestler friend that could do that with heads…

I’ll have to look to see if there’s a video of Chris bending a penny. I’d like to see that.
