Funny Poop
  • A man took his old duck to the Doctor, concerned because the duck wouldn't eat.
The Doctor explained to the man that as ducks age their upper bills grow down over their lower bills and make it difficult for the animal to pick up it's food.
"What you need to do is gently file the upper bill down even with the lower bill. But you must be extra careful because the duck's nostrils are located in the upper bill and if you file down too far, when the duck takes a drink of water it'll drown."
The man goes about his business and about a week later the Doctor runs into his patient.
"Well, how is that duck of yours?" the Doctor inquires.
"He's dead." declared the heartbroken man.
"I told you not to file his upper bill down too far! He took a drink of water and drowned didn't he?" insisted the Doctor.
"No." lamented the man. "I think he was dead before I took him out of the vise."
  • I met an older woman at a bar last night.
She wasn't bad for 57, we drank and bullshitted a bit, then she asked if I 'd ever had a mother and daughter threesome?
I said no.
We drank a bit more, then she says that tonight was my lucky night.
I went back to her place.
She put the hall light on and shouted upstairs:
"Mom you still awake?"
  • After a night on the town, a young woman brought a new friend home for a late-night drink. "You can't make any noise," she warned him. "My parents are upstairs and if they find out they'll kill us."
Things started getting heated on the sofa, but after a while alcohol got the better of the man. "I have to go," he said.
"Well you can't go upstairs. The bathroom is right next to my parents' bedroom," she replied. "Use the kitchen sink."
So he dutifully retired to the kitchen. A few minutes later, he popped his head around the door and asked, "Do you have any toilet paper, or should I just use a paper towel?"

Ray Lewis, Warrior

Is there any doubting his greatness?

Ray Lewis Played Five Snaps With Torn Triceps
Film shows Ray Lewis' hanging right arm before he ultimately came off the field.

Play 1 (2:32): Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo throws a short pass to the opposite side of Lewis. Lewis dropped in coverage and wasn’t in on the play. He jogs towards the ball with his right arm hanging.

Play 2 (2:24): Lewis drops in coverage again, shaking his limp right arm slightly as if trying to work out the pain on the move. The pass was away from him and incomplete.

Play 3 (2:13): Lewis blitzes off the left side on another Cowboys pass. He maneuvers through some light traffic using only his left arm and with his right arm dangling by his side. Romo rolled away from Lewis, meaning he again wasn’t involved.

Play 4 (2:08): Lewis calls and points out something to Dannell Ellerbe with his left arm. He looks to be running a stunt, but doesn’t engage because Romo quickly dumps the ball into the flats.

Play 5 (2:01): The Cowboys finally run the ball. Tanner takes the handoff behind his pulling right guard, who blocks Ellerbe in the hole. It’s Tanner one-on-one with Lewis. Lewis comes across the line and careens into the 217-pound running back. Lewis grabs Tanner around his back with his left arm and spins to the turf. He tries to protect his right arm behind his back and ends up making the tackle one-armed.

Ellerbe said Lewis told him in the huddle a couple plays before leaving the field that he was injured. Lewis thought he dislocated his shoulder and Ellerbe told him to get medical help.

Lewis responded: "Nah, I can’t now.”

"It just shows he’ll live and die for this game,” Ellerbe said.

Dew Tour 2013

Looks like it's official: Dew Tour moving to June. Well that makes sense; have it while the June Bugs are in town, along with all the other events that are happening in June. Now there's a riot waiting to happen...


2013 Dew Tour Dates Reserved On OC Calendar

OCEAN CITY -- At this week’s Mayor and Council meeting, Private Events Coordinator Lisa Mitchell came before the council to request date holds and the location for the Dew Tour in 2013.

Initially, the date hold was for load in from June 10-19, the event June 20-23, and load out from June 23-29. The location request specified the beach north of the pier to N. Division Street and partial use of the northeast corner of the Inlet lot.
The Dew Tour then provided an addendum to the date hold request to extend the load in to begin on June 6 instead, as well as extend the load out to end on July 1 and enlarge the event footprint for the cablecam towers.
The council voted unanimously to approve the requests.
The events dates from the time of load in, the actual event, and to load out will be taking place during a hectic June schedule that will start off with the Founders Entertainment Beach Concert and a Ravens Parade. The next weekend is the OC Air Show and a Longboard Challenge. The following week will have the Sun Run, Beach Raid, and various events of the Fireman’s Convention.
