Funny Poop

Two men are out ice
fishing at their favorite fishing hole, just fishing quietly and drinking beer. Almost silently, so as not to scare the fish,
Rick says, "I think I'm going to divorce my wife - she hasn't spoken to me
in over 2 months."
Dave continues slowly sipping his beer, then
thoughtfully says, "You better think it over - women like that are hard to
find."
Etcetera

Got poop? Let me know! I’m going to try to get this out every
Wednesday so if you get it to me by Tuesday I’ll try to include it. Your input is appreciated.

Dive in and show them
your might
For Baltimore and
Maryland
You will fly on to
victory
