Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for May 31, 2022

I once read that squirrels don’t even remember where they buried their stored nuts. They find them again by sniffing them out.

I could swear that Ripley’s ran the “Tidsoptimist” definition before. I remember clipping it out of the newspaper. Anyone else know?

That explains why the other squirrels went ballistic in Beatrix Potter’s book Timmy Tiptoes when they heard a bird singing, “Who’s been digging up my nuts?”

Or the person who owns the property. I’m so tired of pulling up acorn saplings (oak tree saplings) that I can’t stand it. We don’t even have a squirrel nest in our tree. I don’t even see a nest in neighbor’s trees. AAAAAGGGGHHHH!!!

i lose 25% of my nuts each year too

Shouldn’t the Y on that guy’s watch be a U? Just wondering….

Another 25 per cent or so of the squirrels nuts are lost to bad memory, thereby contributing to the regeneration of trees.

I was walking through a forest the other day when I noticed a little squirrel sitting on a tree trunk, his right hand clenched into a fist.

“What have you got there? A hazelnut?” He shook his head.

“An almond then?” He shook his head again.

“Is it a berry?” Nothing.

“Tell me, what is it?”

“A cramp.”

Interesting, but 50% of nuts is just one nut. lol, lmao, hardy-har..etc….

Take care, may seldom applauded stand-up comic Shecky “Call It A Story Instead Of A Joke And You’re Okay If They Don’t Laugh” Greenord be with you, and gesundheit.

That’s payback.Squirrels and seagulls are the biggest thieves in the animal kingdom.

Seems I’ve been gaining 25% more nuts since I retired

I know about that street in Bellefontaine because I live pretty close to it. But I don’t know what the big deal is about it. Everything has to have a “first” at some point or another, right?

And squirrels also get 25% of their nuts by stealing them…

The name of the first paved street is “Good Intentions”.

Bellefontaine is only about 60 mile from my home town!!

And in Bellefontaine, Ohio, the locals pronounce it “Bell-fountain.”
