Funny Poop

During her annual checkup, the well-constructed miss was asked to disrobe and climb onto the examining table.  "Doctor," she replied shyly, "I just can't undress in front of you."

"All right," said the physician, "I'll flick off the lights.  You undress and tell me when you're through."

In a few moments, her voice rang out in the darkness: "Doctor, I've undressed. What shall I do with my clothes?"

"Put them on the chair, on top of mine."

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
