Funny Poop 
  • The Taxation Department suspected a fishing boat owner wasn't paying proper wages to his deckhand and sent an agent to investigate him. 

IRS AUDITOR: "I need a list of your employees and how much you pay them". 

Boat Owner: "Well, there's Clarence, my deckhand, he's been with me for 3 years.  I pay him $1,000 a week, free room and board and Obamacare 

Then there's the mentally challenged guy.  He works about 18 hours every day and does about 90% of the work around here. He makes about $10 per week, pays his own room and board, and I buy him a bottle of Bacardi rum and a dozen Budweiser’s every Saturday night so he can cope with life.  He also gets to sleep with my wife occasionally". 

IRS AUDITOR: "That's the guy I want to talk to - the mentally challenged one". 

Boat Owner: "That would be me.  What would you like to know"?

 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
