Funny Poop 
  • A young woman goes to her doctor and finds out that she is pregnant.  She says, "I can't be!  The only men I've been around are nudists from my colony, and we only practice sex with our eyes."  The doctor replies, "Someone in that colony must be cockeyed."  
  • A bloke went to his mate's fancy dress costume party with nothing but a naked girl on his back.  "So what are you supposed to be?" the host asked indignantly.  "I'm a snail," the bloke replied.  The exasperated host asked, "How can you be a snail when all you've got is that naked girl on your back?"  The bloke replied. "That's Michelle."

 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
