The 2022 Ocean City St. Patrick’s Day Parade is on and scheduled for March 12. This is a parade to have fun – no worries about competition, just a good time. We will still be able to tailgate prior to the parade at Beach Copy on 59^th Street as we have in years past.

The parade runs from Route 90 to the 45^th Street Village. We will wear some purple vests we have from previous parades, so maybe wear something green beneath.

No party afterward as previous years, but there’s nothing stopping us from bar hopping the rest of the day.

More details later…Susan

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

Funny Poop

· One day Pinocchio came to Geppetto with a problem. “Every time I have sex with my girlfriend, she gets splinters. What can I do about this?”

“Have you tried sandpaper?” Pinocchio hadn’t, so he went home to try it.

“Pinocchio” said Geppetto a few weeks later, “how did the problem work out with your girlfriend?”

Pinocchio said “Who needs a girlfriend when you have sandpaper?”

· When I was young, I decided I wanted to be a doctor, so I took the entrance exam to go to medical school. One of the questions asked us to rearrange the letters ‘PNEIS’ into the name of an important body part which is most useful when erect. Those who answered ‘spine’ are doctors today. The rest of us are sending jokes via email.

· A gent was on a nude beach. Out of manners and to prevent sunburn, he kept a hat over his privates. A woman walked past snickering and said “If you were a gentleman, you’d lift your hat.”

He replied, “If you weren’t so ugly it would lift itself.”

Etcetera
