Ravens Roost #44 Beach Life: Weekly Poop 1/18/17

Roost #44 Poop

Dates to Remember:
- Tomorrow – Ravens Roost #44 Monthly meeting, 7:30 pm, upstairs at the Original Greene Turtle.
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 31^st 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.

- Please remember that reserving airfare through Fandeavor now guarantees a seat regardless of which weekend the game is selected for. Locking in the price now will likely save the group money, because by the time the schedule is announced, it'll likely be more expensive as it's closer to the travel date and planes will be fuller.
- Travel Insurance is highly recommended and can be purchased through Allianz at the link below...Click Here to View http://www.kqzyfj.com/click-7679146-12616085-1466109581000

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!"

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.
