· Bill, age 20, and Sam, age 75, are pushing their carts around Home Depot, when they collide.
Sam says to Bill, "Sorry about that. I'm looking for my wife, and I guess I wasn't paying attention to where I was going."
Bill says, "That's OK. It's a coincidence. I'm looking for my wife, too. I can't find her and I'm getting a little desperate."
Sam says, "Well, maybe we can help each other. What does your wife look like?"
Bill answers "Well, she is 24, tall, with blonde hair, blue eyes, long legs, big boobs, and she's wearing tight white shorts, a halter top, and no bra... What does your wife look like?"
Sam replies, "Doesn't matter...let's look for yours."

· A Scotsman moves to Chicago and attends his first baseball game. The first batter approaches the batters' box, takes a few swings and then hits a double. Everyone is on their feet screaming "Run!" The next batter hits a single. The Scotsman listens as the crowd again cheers "RUN! RUN!" The Scotsman is enjoying the game and begins screaming with the fans. The fifth batter comes up and four balls go by. The Umpire calls "Walk!" The batter starts his slow trot to first base. The Scot stands up and screams "Run, ye lazy bastard, RRUNN!" The people around him begin laughing. Embarrassed, the Scot sits back down, a friendly fan notes the man's embarrassment, leans over and explains "He's got four balls – he has a walk".

· A doctor, a lawyer, a little boy, and a priest were out for a Sunday afternoon flight on a small private plane. Suddenly, the plane developed engine trouble. In spite of the best efforts of the pilot, the plane started to go down. Finally, the pilot grabbed a parachute, yelled to the passengers that they had better jump, and then he bailed out. Unfortunately, there were only three parachutes remaining. The doctor grabbed one and said "I'm a doctor, I save lives, so I must live," and jumped out. The lawyer then said, "I'm a lawyer and lawyers are the smartest people in the world. I deserve to live." He also grabbed a parachute and jumped. The priest looked at the little boy and said, "My son, I've lived a long and full life. You are young and have your whole life ahead of you. Take the last parachute and live in peace." The little boy handed the parachute back to the priest and said, "Not to worry, Father. One of the "smartest men in the world" just went skydiving with my back pack."

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
