Funny Poop

The husband and wife were playing on the ninth green when she collapsed from a heart attack.  "Please dear, I need help." she said.

The husband ran off saying "I'll go get some help."  A little while later he returned, picked up his club and began to line up his shot on the green.

His wife, on the ground, raised up her head and said, "I'm may be dying and you're putting?"

"Don't worry dear. I found a doctor on the second hole who said he come and help."

"The second hole???  When in the hell is he coming???"

"Hey!  I told ya not to worry." he said, practice stroking his putt.  "Everyone's already agreed to let him play through."

Baltimore Ravens, let’s go

And put that ball across the line

So, fly with talons spread wide

Go in and strike with Ravens pride

Fight! Fight! Fight!

Ravens dark wings take flight

Dive in and show them your might

For Baltimore and Maryland

You will fly on to victory
