Local Poop

·       Nothing special this week.  Still plenty of off-season specials and live music available throughout town!

 

Funny Poop

·       The patient was lying in bed, still groggy from the effects of the recent operation.  His doctor came in, looking very glum.

 

"I can't be sure what's wrong with you," the doctor said. "I think it's the drinking."

 

"Okay," the patient said. "Can we get an opinion from a doctor who's sober?"

 

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
