THE SUNDAY FUNNIES: ODD FACTS (misc. jokes)

One smart baby dragon!
Hello Everybody! Waxy Dragon here!

I'm back in Dragon School and boy, the things I've learned so far!
Despite what was once believed, ketchup is NOT a vegetable.
Then again, tomatoes are technically a fruit, but they're not good in fruit salad.

So let's look at some other unique facts.
My comments are in italics.
Chaplin, in character


Charlie Chaplin once won third prize in a Charlie Chaplin look-
alike contest.
Geez. You'd think he'd win.

Americans on the average eat 18 acres of pizza everyday.
WOW! I love pizza! Where can you buy pizza seeds and how do you plant an acre of it?

It's impossible to hum and hold your breath at the same time.
Okay, by now you've tried it and know it's true. But who discovered, let alone tested this to begin with?

The world's oldest piece of chewing gum is estimated to be 9000 years old!
I wonder how old the desk was they found it under?
Feel free to count them yourself

There are 336 dimples on a regulation golf ball in the United States and 330 in the United Kingdom.
Okay, but why the difference, and what happened to the 6 missing dimples?

"Would YOU like to take a survey?"
In a survey of 200,000 ostriches over 80 years, not one tried to
bury its head in the sand.
Okay, I give up. This one really puzzles me. How do you survey an ostrich?
Did they send them a form in the mail? Was there one person that spent 80 years personally interviewing each ostrich?
Then again, maybe ostriches like surveys.

My aunt's ex-boyfriend's mailman's brother said it on Facebook so I don't think any further research is necessary.
Then again...

When you think an idea is dumb and cannot be used, remember someone once said, "Let us make a movie about a tornado filled with sharks."
And on that note, have a great week everybody and please be back here again next weekend for more Sunday Funnies!—wd.
