Funny Poop

·        I recently spent $6,500 on a young registered Black Angus bull.  I put him out with the herd, but he just ate grass and wouldn't even look at a cow.  I was beginning to think I had paid more for that bull than he was worth.  Anyhow, I had the Vet come and have a look at him.  He said the bull was very healthy, but possibly just a little young, so he gave me some pills to feed him once per day.  The bull started to service the cows within two days, all my cows!  He even broke through the fence and bred with all of my neighbor's cows!  He's like a machine!  I don't know what was in the pills the Vet gave him ............ But they kind of taste like peppermint.

 

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
