Weekly Poop 1/25/17


Roost #44 Poop
  • Dates to Remember:
    • Saturday – Polar Bear Plunge @ Sandy Point (Council Event)
    • Wednesday, February 1 – Entertainment Committee Meeting
    • Saturday, February 11 – Council of Ravens Roosts Annual Bull & Oyster Roast at Martins West. Contact Eric for details.
    • Thursday, February 23 – Roost Indoor Mini Golf
    • Saturday, March 11 – St. Paddy’s Day Parade
    • Friday, June 2 – 20th Annual Scholarship Golf Tournament
  • Road Trip 2017 – Everyone: Here are the links to reserve your spot on the OC Ravens Roost 44 Road Trip to London! Please click on each of the links to read what is included (additional 3 nights in Paris is now available and details are included in that link) before making your decision. Once you have decided, you can place your deposit. Remember to consider the Travel Insurance option as the deposit is non-refundable. If you want to customize any part of the trip, please contact Jacob Sudek directly. His phone number and email address are included in the links and at the bottom of this page. The prices as shown are good until Jan 31st so you need to pay the deposit by then to lock in the current price. Keep in mind that once the NFL puts out the schedule, prices, especially for air, will probably go up. The other thing to consider is that you are locking in the current exchange rate for the US dollar which could change, making the price go higher. I will be on the Roost Cruise till 1/16 but will try to answer emails on a daily basis. Thanks, Gary.
  • Dues: Dues ($30 per person) are to be paid by the February meeting. Please make your check payable to Ravens Roost #44 and pay at the February meeting, or mail to me at 126 Pine Tree Rd., Ocean City, MD 21842.

Let one of the officers know if you're interested. Jo Ann.

    The tournament will be held at the Ocean Pines Golf and Country Club on Friday June 2, 2017. Cost per golfer is $115 and $460 for a team of 4. Includes Golf, Practice range, Golf Awards Luncheon Banquet, Continental breakfast, Gift bag, 2 on-course beverage coupons, $500 Putting Contest, $250 Cash Raffle and kegs at the turn and at the luncheon.

Funny Poop
  • Boss, to four of his employees: "I'm really sorry, but I'm going to have to let one of you go."
    Black Employee: "I'm a protected minority."
    Female Employee: "And I'm a woman."
    Oldest Employee: "Fire me, buster, and I'll hit you with an age discrimination suit so fast it'll make your head spin."
    To which they all turn to look at the helpless young, white, male employee, who thinks a moment, then responds: "I think I might be gay..."


Etcetera

Funny Poop
  • God visited a woman and told her she must give up smoking, drinking and unmarried sex if she wants to get into heaven.
    The woman said she would try her best.
    God visited the woman a week later to see how she was getting on.
    "Not bad" said the woman, "I've given up smoking and drinking but then I bent over to get some stuff out of the freezer and my boyfriend caught sight of my long slender legs, he pulled up my skirt, pulled my panties to one side and made love to me right then and there."
    "They don't like that in heaven, said God.
    The woman replied, "They're not too happy about it in Harris Teeter either!"
