Funny Poop

• On a tour of Texas, the Pope took a couple of days off to visit the coast for some sightseeing. He was cruising along the beach in the pope-mobile when there was a frantic commotion just off shore. A helpless man wearing a Pittsburgh Steelers jersey was struggling frantically to free himself from the jaws of a 25-foot shark.
  
  
  As the Pope watched, horrified, a speedboat came racing up with three men wearing Baltimore Ravens jerseys. One quickly fired a harpoon into the shark's side. The other two reached out and pulled the bleeding, semi-conscious Steelers fan from the water, then, using long clubs, the three beat the shark to death and hauled it into the boat.
  
  
  Immediately the Pope shouted and summoned them to the beach. "I give you my blessing for your brave actions," he told them. "I heard that there was bitter hatred between Steelers & Ravens fans, but now I have seen with my own eyes that this is not true." As the Pope drove off, the harpooner asked his buddies "who was that"?
  
  
  "It was the Pope," one replied. "He is in direct contact with God and has access to all of God's wisdom."
  
  
  "Well," the harpooner said, "he may have access to God's wisdom, but he doesn't know anything about shark fishing. Is the bait holding up O.K., or do we need to get another one"?

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
