Funny Poop

·         One night, a lady stumbled into the police station with a black eye.  She claimed she heard a noise in her back yard and went to investigate.  The next thing she knew, she was hit in the eye and knocked out cold.

An officer was sent to her house to investigate, and he returned 1-1/2 hours later with a black eye.  "Did you get hit by the same person?" his captain asked.

"No," he replied. "I stepped on the same rake."

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

Funny Poop

·         Little Johnny is taking a shower with his mother and says, "Mom, what are those things on your chest!?"  Unsure of how to reply, she tells Johnny to ask his dad at breakfast tomorrow, quite certain the matter would be forgotten.

Johnny didn't forget.  The following morning, he asked his father the same question.  His father, always quick with the answers, says, "Why Johnny, those are balloons.  When your mommy dies, we can blow them up and she'll float to heaven."  Johnny thinks that's neat and asks no more questions.

A few weeks later, Johnny’s dad comes home from work a few hours early.  Johnny runs out of the house crying hysterically, "Daddy! Daddy! Mommy's dying!!"

His father says, "Calm down son!  Why do you think Mommy's dying?"

"Uncle Harry is blowing up Mommy’s balloons and she's screaming, "Oh God, I'm coming!"

Funny Poop

·         A nice, calm and respectable lady went into the pharmacy, walked up to the pharmacist, looked straight into his eyes and said, "I would like to buy some cyanide."

The pharmacist asked, "Why in the world do you need cyanide?"

The lady replied, "I need it to poison my husband."

The pharmacist's eyes got big and he exclaimed, "Lord have mercy!  I can't give you cyanide to kill your husband.  Absolutely not!  You CANNOT have any cyanide!"

The lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband in bed with the pharmacist's wife.

The pharmacist looked at the picture and said, "You didn't tell me you had a prescription."
