Funny Poop
·        A man enters a barbershop for a shave.  While the barber is foaming him up, he mentions the problems he has getting a close shave around the cheeks.  "I have just the thing," says the barber taking a small wooden ball from a nearby drawer.  "Just place this between your cheek and gum."
The client places the ball in his mouth and the barber proceeds with the closest shave the man has ever experienced.  After a few strokes, the client asks in garbled speech, "And what if I swallow it?"
"No problem," says the barber.  "Just bring it back tomorrow like everyone else does."

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
