Funny Poop
·        An elderly couple was in church.  The wife leaned over and whispered to her husband, "I just let out a long silent fart... what should I do?"  The husband replied, "Replace the batteries in your hearing aid."
·        An old retired sailor puts on his old uniform and goes down to the docks for old time’s sake.  He hires a prostitute, takes her up to a room and goes at it as best as he can for a guy his age.  After a couple of minutes he asks, "How am I doing?"  The prostitute replies, "Well sailor, you're doing about three knots."  "Three knots?" He asks.  "What's that supposed to mean?"  She says, "You're knot hard, you're knot in and you're knot getting your money back."
·        The 98-year-old Mother Superior from Ireland was dying.  The nuns gathered around her bed trying to make her last journey comfortable.  They gave her some warm milk to drink but she refused.

Then one of the nuns took the glass back to the kitchen.  Remembering a bottle of Irish whiskey received as a gift the previous Christmas, she opened and poured a generous amount into the warm milk.

Back at Mother Superior's bed, she held the glass to her lips.  Mother drank a little, then a little more and before they knew it, she had drunk the whole glass down to the last drop.

"Mother," the nuns asked with earnest, "please give us some wisdom before you die."

She raised herself up in bed and with a pious look on her face said, "Don't sell that cow."

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
