Funny Poop 
  • A man is sitting reading his newspaper when his wife sneaks up behind him and whacks him on the head with a frying pan. 
"What was that for?" He asks. 
"That was for the piece of paper in your trouser pocket with the name Mary Ellen written on it," she replies. 
"Don't be silly," he says, "Two weeks ago when I went to the races.  Mary Ellen was the name of one of the horses I bet on." 
His wife seemed satisfied at this and apologized. 
Three days later he's again sitting in his chair reading when she nails him with an even bigger frying pan, knocking him out cold. 
When he comes around he asks, "What was that for?" 
"Your horse called!" 
  • Man goes to see the Rabbi. "Rabbi, something terrible is happening and I have to talk to you about it." 
The Rabbi asked, "What's wrong?" 
The man replied, "My wife is poisoning me." 
The Rabbi, very surprised by this, asks, "How can that be?" 
The man then pleads, "I'm telling you, I'm certain she's poisoning me, what should I do?" 
The Rabbi then offers, "Tell you what.  Let me talk to her, I'll see what I can find out and I'll let you know." 
A week later the Rabbi calls the man and says, "Well, I spoke to your wife.  I spoke to her on the phone for three hours.  You want my advice?" 
The man anxiously says, "Yes." 
"Take the poison," says the Rabbi.

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
