Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for September 21, 2022

Everybody knows that peanuts are legumes and not nuts. Don’t they?

three food-related tidbits… nice

Since corn sm*t is a delicacy of CA, will it not soon a be delicacy in the southern US

Insulin was also invented in the 1920s, for those who need to avoid sliced bread.

Similarly, coconuts are just seeds, and Brazil nuts aren’t nuts either, I’ve been told.

OMG, So THAT’S what the greatest thing before sliced bread was!

So was the saying before “The Greatest Thing Since Sliced Bread”, “The Greatest Thing Since Wrapped Bread”?

Pre-sliced bread was a very big deal in 1928, I guess. People must have been amazed and saying, “What will they think of next? Technology these days!”

Well, they aren’t peas, either.

Take care, may renowned town stinky gal Heather “I Knew I Could Blame That Corn All Along And Proudly Penned The First ’There’s A Fungus Among Us’ Lyric When I Was Only Twelve” Olfactord be with you, and gesundheit.

The stock market is eating a lot of my cash…ew!

An old grandma brings the bus driver peanuts every single day.

At first the bus driver enjoyed the peanuts but after a week of eating them he asked: “Please granny, don’t bring me peanuts anymore. Have them yourself.”.

The granny answers: “You know, I don’t have teeth anymore. I prefer to just suck the chocolate off around them.”

A guy and his monkey walk into a bar. The monkey jumps on the counter and gobbles up a bowl of peanuts.

The bartender asked the guy, “Did you see what your monkey just did?”

The guy replied, “Yeah, he does that all the time. He’s always hungry. I’ll pay for the peanuts”, and hands the bartender a buck. The bartender clinks a couple of pennies as change onto the counter, which the monkey promptly grabs and swallows.

The guy said, “Oh he eats random things all the time, too”.

As if on cue, the monkey jumps onto the pool table and stuffs the cue ball down his throat. Sighing, the man brings out his wallet.

The next week, the man and his monkey go back to the bar. This time, the monkey sees cherries on the counter. He grabs one and treats it like a suppository, then removes it and eats it.

Disgusted, the bartender asks the guy, “Did you see what your monkey just did?”

The guy says, “Yeah, ever since he had to pass that cue ball he ate last time, he’ll be darned if he doesn’t measure everything first”.

For now.

The corn thing is just gross. (☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞

Who the heck was the first person to look at an ear of corn like that and say, “I bet that tastes fantastic!”

During WWII the US Government ordered the cessation of bakeries slicing bread until the end of the war (for some reason – saving energy?) There was such an outrage from housewives that the ban only lasted about six weeks.

It was a tough go inventing raisin bread—-the frist batch of raisins wouldn’t hold still.

“It’s not a tuber…”

Peanuts are legumes…

Legumes is french for nuts…

I’m aware of the corn s**t. It has also been called “Mexican Caviar” and is considered a delicacy. However, I’ve not tried it. Ironic that the s**t word is on the banned list and here it is listed on RBION!

While initially recoiling from the idea of deliberately eating corn fungi, I remembered truffles. A fungus dug up by pigs from down in the muck. It’s famously delicious. So perhaps it’s corn truffles.

Reminds me of when my Granny would make me a “wish” sandwich. She take two pieces of bread and tell me to wish it had some meat in it.

With the passing of the Queen, it got me thinking of my own time still to come.

I think I’ll be cremated, and my ashes put in a glass urn.

REMAINS to be seen!!!!

Peanuts and smutty corn got a lot attention today, but much less attention to bread. So, before the night is gone, let’s see if there’s anything funny about bread.

Two slices of bread got married.

The ceremony was going quite well until someone decided to toast the bride and groom.

Last call.

A piece of toast walks into a bar, and the bartender starts chatting with him.

“Where are you from? I haven’t met many pieces of toast.”

The piece of toast takes a long sip of beer, and says “Well, I was born and bread in New York.”

Until next time.

In Nam, we had a bread slicing machine in the mess hall.
