Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for August 01, 2020

One century and two years later, I don’t see any dog and cat owners mask up their furry friends for COVID-19.

I can’t make anything out of sand.

For you that think masks are stupid. Here’s a great letter about it.Welcome to the Freedom Cafe! We trust you to make your own choices if you want to wear a face mask. And, in the same spirit of individual liberty, we allow our staff to make their own choices about the safety procedures they prefer to follow as they prepare and serve your food. We encourage employees to wash their hands after using the bathroom, but understand that some people may be allergic to certain soaps or may simply prefer not to wash their hands. It is not our place to tell them what to do. We understand that you may be used to chicken cooked to 165 degrees. We do have to respect that some of our cook may seen a meme or You Tube video saying 100 degrees is fine and we do not want to encroach on their beliefs. Some servers may wish to touch your food as they serve it. There is no reason that a healthy person with clean hands can’t touch your food. We will take their word that they are healthy and clean. Water temperature and detergent are highly personal choices, and we allow our dishwashing team to decide how they’d prefer to wash silverware you will put in your mouth. Some of you may get sick, but almost everyone survives food poisoning. We think you’ll agree that it’s a small price to pay for the sweet freedom of no one ever being told what to do, epecially not for the silly reason of keeping strangers healthy.

Instead of a getting a flat tire, you get a flat bike.

I didn’t know you could get sand to hold together like that. Very impressive!

The Pomo could end up being a huge hit as long as they don’t price it out of most people’s reach.

A lot of people do animal sand sculpturing. I wonder why Andoni is getting Ripley face time. They have a sand sculpturing contest at the Neptune festival in Virginia Beach every year. Some of the art is astounding. https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=neptune+sand+sculpture&atb=v217-1&iax=images&ia=images&iai=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.covingtontravel.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2012%2F10%2F2012-09-30_16-15-07_224-1024×575.jpg

There were Anti-maskers during the Spanish Flu epidemic.

They also flocked to Sousa band concerts. They were goofy.

Inflatable bike? The motor itself would be heavy, saying nothing about the wheels and drive train. I’ll pass on this one.

Sandy Talent. I went out with her sister, Thatsum, in 8th grade.

Take care and gesundheit.

During the 2020 epidemic, some people haven’t as much sense as their cats and dogs.

It seems in 1918 they were smarter than we are today.

In 2020, Jared Kushner canceled testing programs and let the covid spread because he thought it would only kill Democrats.

Has Señor Bastarrika ever done a giraffe?

Why hell no, they won’t even mask themselves!…..I have tried to understand their position about “taking away their rights” but I can’t understand it!…..the vast majority of other countries have no trouble with this……what is there about a large portion of this country fighting health instructions?…….

It has four wheels. Not a bike.

Why don’t they attach a small electric pump to the motor on the Pomo so that it could pump itself up?

Too bad they don’t last.

And if you have a blow-out you can use it as a skateboard…

Portland should hire that artist from Spain to come and make some realistic sculptures of police cars. It would save the city some money when the anarchists go on their nightly protests!
