Funny Poop

• A woman went to the local psychic in hopes of contacting her dearly departed grandmother.
  The psychic's eyelids begin fluttering, her voice begins warbling, her hands float up above the table, and she begins moaning. Eventually, a coherent voice emanates, saying, "Granddaughter? Are you there?"
  The customer, wide-eyed and on the edge of her seat, responds, "Grandma? Is that you?"
  "Yes granddaughter, it's me."
  "It's really, really you, Grandma?" the woman repeats.
  "Yes, it's really me, granddaughter."
  The woman looks puzzled, "You're sure it's you, Grandma?"
  "Yes, granddaughter, I'm sure it's me."
  The woman pauses a moment, "Grandma, I have just one question for you."
  "Anything, my child."
  "When did you learn to speak English?"

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
