Funny Poop 
  • A beautiful woman loved growing tomatoes, but couldn't seem to get her tomatoes to turn red.  One day, while taking a stroll, she came upon a gentleman neighbor who had the most beautiful garden full of huge red tomatoes.  
The woman asked the gentlemen, "What do you do to get your tomatoes so red?"  The gentlemen responded, "Well, twice a day I stand in front of my tomato garden naked in my trench coat and flash them.  My tomatoes turn red from blushing so much."  
Well, the woman was so impressed, she decided to try doing the same thing to her tomato garden to see if it would work.  So twice a day for two weeks she flashed her garden hoping for the best.  One day the gentleman was passing by and asked the woman, "By the way, how did you make out?  Did your tomatoes turn red?"  
No", she replied, "but my cucumbers are enormous."

 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

Funny Poop 
  • A father was concerned that his daughter hadn't revealed her heart condition to his future son-in-law.  The first chance he had for a private chat, he asked his son-in-law to be, "Michael, are you aware of my daughter's acute angina?"  "Sure," Mike responded, "and her breasts ain't bad either!" 
  • The businesswoman, in town for an important meeting, checked into her room at the swank hotel and unpacked her bags.  Noticing that her best suit had been badly wrinkled during her flight, she telephoned the desk and asked the hotel's valet service to pick it up for pressing.  Almost immediately after she hung up the phone, a knock sounded at the door, and there stood an elderly Chinaman, waiting.  Impressed by the fast service, the career woman exclaimed, "My, you come lickety-split!"  "No, ma'am," replied the elderly Chinaman.  "Come to get laundry."
