Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for January 06, 2022

Another story from the annals of My Life:

I went to a convention years ago, and during a break found myself in the Hospitality Suite. I met a rather interesting young lady there, and I was quite intrigued – until I found out she was one of these environmental/conservationist fanatics. I kept suggesting she come up to my room, and all she could say was that there weren’t enough wild horses left in the world.

Imagine having the job of regulating pooping time…”So, what do you do for a living?”

I didn’t need the poop information. But sure, why not.

Early aviation. Something from the annals of my family history. My father’s sister soloed in 1927 at the age of 18, and on that first solo flight upset her instructor by doing two loops and a tailspin (on purpose I might add.) It was really a pretty good prank, actually.

Unbeknownst to him she had taken stunt flying lessons from an instructor in California while visiting relatives, but hadn’t soloed because the air field in California was more difficult to land on than her home field. So when she got back, she was ready for her big prank, and successfully pulled it off.

A true story, Believe It or Not. I’m guessing her instructor didn’t need more than 20 seconds, if you catch my drift.

They probably bought the seats at an all night wicker store.

And Pope Greg the 13th is livid.

Take care, may pooper timer Arthur “I’m Fine As Long As I Don’t Run Out Of Clothespins” Janovord be with you, and gesundheit.

Don’t ever try to post-date a check in Foula.

20 seconds? Only twice in my lifetime. Both times while I was in Vietnam. Busy.

Those seats were probably more comfortable than some today.

20 seconds – they must have done the research at the colonoscopy clinic just before the invasion.the first planes had to be as light as possible so wicker makes good sense. maybe if I moved to Foula I would have enough days to catch up to being behind with my work.

that without something to read right lol

The state of Ohio took 15 months to design a license plate with the Wright flyer on it. After they introduced it, it was pointed out that the banner being pulled was on the front instead of the back of the plane. BION!

It takes more than 20 seconds to do 3 circles around the yard just to find the right spot.

In the sketch, is that a piece of newspaper stuck to the guy’s butt?

ATTN: RBION – - TMI on the poop stories.

I wonder what the average time is for explosive diarrhea.

At my age, it’s either 20 seconds or 20 minutes.

That 20 second crap was probably started by a laxative company trying to drum up business.

I’d like to know what person took the time to count how many seconds it took to poop. What a crappy job.

I guess folks in Foula never received the memo.

The first law of averages is that nobody is average. There’s a good chance you are either above or below average but never exactly average.

Heading for the “out house” by Willie Makit!!

I’m clearly below average unfortunately.

Actually, Foula is one day ahead of the Julian calendar, because they skipped leap year in 1900. I don’t know why. But that’s why the difference is 12 days, instead of 13.

20 seconds? Who’s job was it, to time that?
