Funny Poop 
  • Now that they are retired, my mother and father are discussing all aspects of their future.  "What will you do if I die before you do?" dad asked mom.  After some thought, she said that she'd probably look for a house-sharing situation with three other single or widowed women who might be a little younger than herself, since she is so active for her age.  Then mom asked dad "What will you do if I die first?"  He replied "Probably the same thing". 
  • The nurse asked a patient to remove his clothing and put on a gown to be checked by the doctor. 
"In... in front of you?" he mumbles, shy.  The nurse says: "Don't worry, I've seen the naked human body before.  The man said "Not one like mine.  You'd die laughing at my naked body". 
"Of course I won't laugh!" said the nurse to the patient "I'm a professional.  In over twenty years I've never laughed at a patient!"  "Okay then" said the patient, and he proceeded to drop his trousers, revealing a huge male body with the smallest adult male organ the nurse had ever seen in her life. 
In length and width it was almost identical to a AAA battery.  Unable to control herself, the nurse tried to stop a giggle, but it just came out.  And then she started laughing at the fact that she was laughing.  Feeling very badly that she had laughed at the man's private part, she composed herself as well as she could.  
"I am so sorry" she said "I don't know what came over me.  On my honor as a nurse and a lady, I promise that it won't happen again.  Now, tell me, what seems to be the problem?"  "It's swollen" he replied.

 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
