Funny Poop 
  • Paddy took two stuffed dogs to the Antiques Roadshow.  "Ooh," said the presenter, "this is a very rare set produced by the celebrated Johns Brothers, taxidermists, who operated in London at the turn of the century.  Do you have any idea what they would fetch if they were in really good condition?"  "Sticks," said Paddy. 
  • A mortician was working late one night.  He examined the body of Mr. Bob, about to be cremated, and made a startling discovery.  Bob had the largest private part he had ever seen!  "I'm sorry Mr. Bob," the mortician commented, "but I can't allow you to be cremated with such an impressive private part.  It must be saved for posterity."  So he removed it, stuffed it in his briefcase, and took it home.  "I have something you won't believe" he said to his wife, opening his briefcase.  "My God!" the wife exclaimed.  "Bob is dead!"

 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

  • Tomorrow - Monthly Roost meeting, 7:30 pm @ the Blue Ox. 
  • Friday – WCS Meeting  
  • Saturday - St. Paddy's Day Parade - For those walking in the St. Pat's Day parade: We will distribute the t-shirts Saturday morning at Beach Copy. Lord only knows what the weather will be like that day, so dress appropriately.  The shirts are green, so if you have something white to wear under the tee, that would be nice. Also, blue jeans are the suggested bottom half attire.  Please plan to arrive at 59th St. no later than 10:30. After that, the traffic backs up and it is very difficult to get anywhere. There is no parking at Beach Copy; park across the highway on 59th or in the 42-45th St. area where the parade ends, and walk back to Beach Copy.  You may bring your own beverages, but everything must be removed from the parking lot before we start to walk. Have a huggie or plastic cup for your beverages.  If you have any questions, please e-mail me at jelder10@verizon.net or call me at 410-250-5124. And, Nelson, please contact the right individual for perfect weather!  Thanks.  Jo Ann
