Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for January 04, 2022

I don’t believe it. Nope, you’re not telling the truth.

A man meets an old friend one day. “How’s your family?” the friend asks.

“Well, my wife and my daughter are fine, but I’m worried about my son.”

“What’s wrong with your son?” his friend asks.

“He doesn’t know how to drink or play poker,” is the reply.

“But…but why on earth would that be a problem?”

“Because he drinks and plays poker.”

One time I was 2,001 miles tall.

One time I was 39 years old. One time I was 7 inches tall.

Pretty gruesome for Ripley’s, but I thought this was really cool when I first saw it:

Did the penguin get taken back from whence it came?

If you disturb one of their gardens, you’ll have a damsel fish in distress.

Your GPS is fine. The guy who dropped you off on the N.Z. beach is not so fine.

Take care, may PETA activist Graham “My Parents Were Cruel To Name Me That” Crackord be with you, and gesundheit.

Not even close :-(

That is one of the most disgusting entries I’ve ever encountered.

This penguin might have wanted to start a march out of Antarctica; much like early humans did out of Africa millions of years ago.

Penguins

A guy sees a lonely penguin wandering in the streets downtownHe takes him immediately to the nearest police station to ask for advice.

“Officer, I found this penguin, what should I do?”

Officer is concerned and says:

“What is he doing there?? Take him to the Zoo immediately!”

Man says ok and leaves the police station.

A couple hours later, police officer is looking through the window sees the man and the penguin, holding hands and walking down the street. He gets furious and rushes to them.

“Didn’t I tell you to take him to the Zoo? What are you still doing here?”

Man gets confused and also angry, responds

“Why are you shouting officer? I did get him to the Zoo as you told me. And now we are going to the movies!”

Until next time.

In my lifetime, I’ve heard similar stories about an Antarctic penguin showing up hundreds of miles from home. Is this one newsworthy because it’s a new record?

I remember that clot, pictures of it were all over the place with the headline “man coughs up lung”

An Adele penguin might travel to the North Pole to say, “Hello from the other side!”

Wow, what a coincidence. I just came across the blood clot thing online today while looking something up.
