Funny Poop

After a recent college basketball game, the coach spotted a cell phone lying on the floor.  He picked it up and handed it to one of the referees, saying, "Here's your phone."

"What makes you think it’s mine?" the ref asked.

"Easy," the coach replied.  "It says you missed 13 calls!"

 

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
