Ravens Poop

Funny Poop
·        A golfer has been slicing off the tee on every hole.  He asks his Irish caddy if he has noticed any obvious reasons for his poor tee shots, to which the caddy replies, “Aye, there's a piece of shit on the end of your driver.”  The Golfer picks up his driver and cleans the club face, at which point the caddy says, “No, the other end.”

Etcetera
·         Got poop?  Let me know!  I’m going to try to get this out every Wednesday so if you get it to me by Tuesday I’ll try to include it.  Your input is appreciated.

·         Life is short.  Focus on the good.
·        On December 7, 1941, Japanese planes attacked the United States Naval Base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii Territory, killing more than 2,300 Americans.  The U.S.S. Arizona was completely destroyed and the U.S.S. Oklahoma capsized.  A total of twelve ships sank or were beached in the attack and nine additional vessels were damaged.  More than 160 aircraft were destroyed and more than 150 others damaged.  A hurried dispatch from the ranking United States naval officer in Pearl Harbor, Commander in Chief Pacific, to all major navy commands and fleet units provided the first official word of the attack at the ill-prepared Pearl Harbor base.  It said simply: AIR RAID ON PEARL HARBOR X THIS IS NOT DRILL.  The following day President Franklin Roosevelt, addressing a joint session of Congress, called December 7 "a date which will live in infamy."  Declaring war against Japan, Congress ushered the United States into World War II.

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
