Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for October 11, 2021

It’s autumn here in the Northern Hemisphere. The days are getting shorter, and so are my jokes – well, some of them, anyway…

A man is accused of stealing a mule. After a lengthy trial, the jury returns from deliberations. “Have you reached a verdict?” the judge asks.

“We have, Your Honor,” says the jury foreman. “We find the defendant not guilty, provided he returns the mule.”

“THAT’S not a proper verdict!” roars the judge. “Go back into the jury room and don’t come back out until you have a better answer than that.”

The jury is only gone ten minutes this time. When the judge again asks for their decision, the foreman once again stands up and says, “Your Honor, we find the defendant not guilty. He can keep the mule.”

Is that 155,308,400 South Korean won? (Thank you, Siri, for converting that from US dollars.)

If I acquired a fridge that way and found that much money under it, I don’t think I would tell anyone. I probably wouldn’t deposit it in a bank, either.

So…did Robby Bead get his $50,001 back???

I don’t know any jokes involving mules, and only one involving engineers, so I’ll go with that one. Three friends were gathered in a bar, an artist, an engineer and a communist, and they were arguing about whose vocation was the oldest. The artist insisted that artists were the oldest, after all, he reasoned, it took an artist to develop beauty from the existing order. No, it was engineering that was the oldest, said the engineer, for it was engineers who brought order from the existing chaos. At that point the communist set down his glass on the table rather loudly, and exclaimed “And where did you get your chaos, Comrade?”

Can’t blame him, probably some required maintenance that cost twice that! And the cost to tear it down?

Wow! Talk about cold hard cash!

How does a city “accidentally” sell a piece of property, much less a water tower?

when i was working at j.p morgan chase,one of my co-workers found $20,000 in cash.it was inside an ATM bag.the bank didn’t know it was missing! he got a $1,000 reward for returning it.the place i worked at wasn’t a bank.it’s a warehouse with offices.the most money i ever found was almost 700 bucks.

Believe it or not, there’s a Kimchi National Day established by law… IN ARGENTINA!! https://newswep.com/national-kimchi-day-in-argentina-the-senate-gave-a-half-sanction-to-the-law/

A week-long water tower party seems like long enough.

Take care, may unemployed catering truck owner Cheryl “The Roaches Follow Me Everywhere!” Tacord be with you, and gesundheit.

I hope Read made a profit on the resale of the water tower. By the way, what’s that white thing down at the base of the tower?

At least he didn’t find a dead body in that fridge

Is a Kimchi fridge spicier than a regular fridge?

I bet the seller of the Kimchi fridge is kicking his self!!!

Huh. Bobby Read could have been flushed with success!

Well, it proves that kimchi is a very powerful (and profitable!) drug indeed.

I know Koreans like their kimchi, but do they really have refrigerators that are only used for kimchi.

The cold cash was there to keep the kimchi cool.

Whew! When I started reading the first panel, I though it was going to say that the new owner found some old kimchi left inside. Ever smell that stuff?

Okay. Here is the story about the kimchi refrigerator.

Spend it one bill at a time, one week at a time. Never the same place twice consecutively.
