Funny Poop
·        A man was driving along a freeway when he noticed a chicken running alongside his car.

He was amazed to see the chicken keeping up with him, as he was doing 50 m.p.h.  He accelerated to 60, and the chicken stayed right next to him.  He sped up to 75 m.p.h., and the chicken passed him.

The man noticed that the chicken had three legs.  He followed the chicken down a road and ended up at a farm.  He got out of his car and saw that all the chickens had three legs.  He asked the farmer, "What's up with these chickens?"

The farmer said "Well, everybody likes chicken legs, so I bred a three-legged bird. I'm going to be a millionaire."

The man asked him how they tasted.  The farmer said, "Don't know, haven't caught one yet."

Etcetera

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
