Funny Poop
·         An elderly couple was sitting at the kitchen table on the morning of their 50th wedding anniversary.  "You know," she said, "We were probably sitting in the kitchen across from each other 50 years ago."
"Yeah," he said, "But we were probably naked."
So let's get naked now," she suggested.  So they both took off all their clothes and sat across from each other.
"You know," she said smiling lovingly, "My nipples feel just as hot looking at you today as they did 50 years ago."
He replied, "I'm sure they are - one is in your coffee and the other is in your oatmeal."
·         Bill, in his eighties, is putting on his coat.
His wife Sarah says, "Where are you going?"
Bill says, "I'm going to the doctor."
Sarah asks, "Are you sick?"
"No" Bill said, "I'm going to get me some of those new Viagra pills."
So Sarah gets out of her rocker and puts on her coat.
"Where are you going?" says Bill.
Sarah replies "I'm going to the doctor, too.  If you're going to start using that rusty old thing, I'm going to get me a tetanus shot."

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
