Funny Poop

After receiving a beautiful haircut, a doctor asks the barber, “How much do I owe you?”

“Oh, I never charge a doctor,” the barber replies.  “You all do such good, important work.”  The next morning, the barber arrives at his shop and finds a thank you note and a bottle of wine on his doorstep from the doctor.

Later that day, a police officer walks into the same barbershop.  After a beautiful haircut, the police officer asks the barber, “How much do I owe you?”

“Oh, I never charge a police officer,” the barber replies.  “You all do such good, important work.” The next morning, the barber arrives at his shop and finds a thank you note and a box of candy on his doorstep from the police officer.

Later that day, a lawyer walks into the same barbershop.  After a beautiful haircut, the lawyer asks the barber, “How much do I owe you?”

“Oh, I never charge a lawyer,” the barber replies.  “You all do such good, important work.”  The next morning, the barber arrives at his shop and finds twelve lawyers on his doorstep.

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
