· Good of the Roost: - Hey Ravens women, let's get together and meet for lunch at a local restaurant or picnic at a park. Some of our guys have been doing this pre pandemic for a while so I thought it'd be good for us women to get to know each other and to have a "girls day" out. Contact Donna at 410-627-7697. If we have enough interest, we can pick a date and time. Thanks.

Funny Poop

· Three police officers were standing in line at the Pearly Gates.Saint Peter asked the first officer, “What did you do with your life?”

“I was a police officer,” he responded.

“What kind of police officer?” Saint Peter asked.

“I was a vice officer. I kept drugs off the streets and out of the hands of kids.”

“Welcome to heaven. You may end the gates.” He asked the second man what he did as a police officer.

“I was a traffic officer,” said the man. “I kept the roads and highways safe.”

“Welcome to heaven. You may enter the gates. ”He asked the third man what he did as a police officer.

“I was a military policeman, sir,” replied the man.

“Wonderful! I’ve been waiting for you all day!” replied Saint Peter. “I need to take a break! Watch the gate, will you?”
