Funny Poop
·         Three Little Ducks go into a Bar...
"Say, what's your name?" the bartender asked the first duck.
"Huey," was the rely.
"How's your day been, Huey?"
"Great.  Lovely day.  Had a ball.  Been in and out of puddles all day.  What else could a duck want?"
"Oh, that's nice," said the bartender.  He turned to the second duck, "Hi, and what's your name?"
"Dewey," came the answer back from the second duck.
"So, how's your day been, Dewey?", he asked.
"Great.  Lovely day.  Had a ball.  Been in and out of puddles all day.  What else could a duck want?"
The bartender turned to the third duck and said, "So, you must be Louie?"
"No," she said, batting her eyelashes.  "My name is Puddles."

Funny Poop
·         A 5-year old boy went to visit his grandmother one day.  While playing with his toys in her bedroom while grandma was dusting furniture, he looked up and said, "Grandma, how come you don't have a boyfriend?"
Grandma replied, "Honey, my TV is my boyfriend.  I can set in my bedroom and watch it all day long.  The TV evangelists keep me company and make me feel so good.  The comedies make me laugh.  I'm so happy with my TV as my boyfriend."  Grandma turned on the TV and the picture was horrible.  She started adjusting the knobs trying to get the picture in focus. Frustrated, she started hitting on the backside of the TV hoping to fix the problem.
The little boy heard the doorbell ring, so he hurried to open the door.  When he opened the door, there stood Grandma's minister.  The minister said, "Hello son is your grandma home?"
The little boy replied, "Yeah, she's in the bedroom bangin' her boyfriend."
