Funny Poop
·        How do you know when you're staying in a West Virginia hotel?  When you call the front desk and say, "I gotta leak in my sink," the front desk replies "Go ahead."
·        How can you tell if a Tennessee redneck is married?  There is dried tobacco juice on both sides of his pickup truck.
·        Why do the drivers' education classes in Pittsburgh schools use the car only on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays?  Because on Tuesdays and Thursdays the Sex Ed class uses it.

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.

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
