Roost #44 Poop
· Dates to Remember:
· Tonight – Ravens Rap returns! From Eileen Abeel: “The Ravens Rap show is now being taped by Comcast Spotlight. It will air on Beach TV on Fridays, Saturdays & Sundays 2x a day. It is still being taped, at the same time, for radio for airing on WZBH, airing Pre - "Pre-Game" NFL GameDay Sundays. The TV show is just 1 hour, whereas the radio is still 1 1/2 hours. The show is being taped on Wednesdays 7:00 - 8:30 pm, starting September 7th, prior to 1st regular season game against Steelers, at The Blue Ox Bar & Grill 127th St. & Coastal Hwy. We will actually be starting the show about 7:15pm, because of the time constraints with Mike Bradley. It looks like we will be getting Bruce Laird probably for every show, instead of every other. There may be a few he can't make. John Gehrig & Tony Lombardi will be part of the show again, as well. The show will have specific timed breaks & subject matters, just to make it easier on editing the shows for television.”

Funny Poop
· A defendant was on trial for murder. There was strong evidence indicating guilt, but there was no corpse. In the defence's closing statement, the lawyer, knowing that his client would probably be convicted, resorted to a trick.
"Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I have a surprise for you all" the lawyer said as he looked at his watch. "Within one minute, the person presumed dead in this case will walk into this courtroom". He looked toward the courtroom door.
The jurors, somewhat stunned, all looked on eagerly. A minute passed. Nothing happened.
Finally the lawyer said "Actually, I made up the previous statement. But you all looked on with anticipation. I, therefore, put it to you that you have a reasonable doubt in this case as to whether anyone was killed, and I insist that you return a verdict of not guilty".
The jury retired to deliberate. A few minutes later, the jury returned and pronounced a verdict of guilty.
"But how?" inquired the lawyer. "You must have had some doubt. I saw all of you stare at the door". The jury foreman replied "Yes we did look... but your client didn't".
· An Australian travel writer touring Canada was checking out of the Spokane Hilton. As he paid his bill he asked the manager "By the way what's with the Indian sitting in the lobby? He's been there ever since I arrived".
"Oh that's Big Chief Forget-Me-Not" said the manager. "The hotel is built on an Indian reservation, and part of the agreement is to allow the chief free use of the premises for the rest of his life. He is known as Big Chief Forget-Me-Not because of his phenomenal memory. He is 92 and can remember even the slightest detail of his life".
The travel writer took this in and, as he was waiting for his cab, decided to put the chief's memory to the test.
"G'day, mate!" said the Aussie, receiving only a slight nod in return. "What did you have for breakfast on your 21st birthday?" "Eggs" was the chief's instant reply, without even looking up, and indeed the Aussie was impressed.
He went off on his travel writing itinerary, right across to the east coast and back, telling others of Big Chief Forget-Me-Not's great memory. One local noted to him that "How" was a more appropriate greeting for an Indian chief than "G'day mate".
On his return to the Spokane Hilton six months later, he was surprised to see Big Chief Forget-Me-Not still sitting in the lobby, fully occupied with whittling away on a stick.
"How!" said the Aussie. "Scrambled," said the chief.
· Friedman's worried that he might be gay so he goes to a psychiatrist. After a few sessions, the shrink says "I've got some good news and some bad news. Which do you want first?" Friedman says "Give me the bad news first". The psychiatrist says "You definitely have homosexual tendencies". Friedman says "After that, what could be the good news?" The psychiatrist says "I think you're kinda cute".
· A friend of mine has just told me he's shagging his girlfriend and her twin. I asked, "How can you tell them apart?" He said "Her brother has a moustache".

Baltimore Ravens, let’s go
And put that ball across the line
So fly with talons spread wide
Go in and strike with Ravens pride
Fight! Fight! Fight!
Ravens dark wings take flight
Dive in and show them your might
For Baltimore and Maryland
You will fly on to victory
