Funny Poop
  • A guy gets stopped by the bouncer at a nightclub. "You have to wear a tie," says the bouncer.  The guy goes back to his car and all he can find is a set of jumper cables, so he ties them around his neck and goes back to the club.  The bouncer lets him in but warns, "I'll be watching, so you better not start anything!"

Etcetera
  • Got poop? Let me know! I’m going to try to get this out every Wednesday so if you get it to me by Tuesday I’ll try to include it. Your input is appreciated.

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
