Funny Poop

·         One night, a lady stumbled into the police station with a black eye.  She claimed she heard a noise in her back yard and went to investigate.  The next thing she knew, she was hit in the eye and knocked out cold.

An officer was sent to her house to investigate, and he returned 1-1/2 hours later with a black eye.  "Did you get hit by the same person?" his captain asked.

"No," he replied. "I stepped on the same rake."

  Remember that we collect plastic grocery bags at every Roost meeting. These bags are used by Diakonia (Local Food Bank & Homeless Shelter) to distribute food contributions to the needy. My white Ford pickup truck is parked in front of OC 360 at every Roost meeting. Simply put your plastic bags (tied up tightly) in the bed of the truck.

Funny Poop

• A man is in his front yard attempting to fly a kite with his son. However, every time the kite gets up in the air, it comes crashing back down. This goes on for a while, when his wife stickes her head out he front door and yells “You need more tail”. The man turns to his son and says, “Son, I’ll never understand your mother. Yesterday, I told her I needed more tail, and she told me to go fly a kite!”
• Muldoon lived alone in the Irish countryside with only a pet dog for company. One day the dog died, and Muldoon went to the parish priest and asked, "Father, my dog is dead. Could ya' be saying' a mass for the poor creature?"
  Father Patrick replied, "I'm afraid not; we cannot have services for an animal in the church. But there are some Baptists down the lane, and there's no tellin' what they believe. Maybe they'll do something for the creature."
  Muldoon said, "I'll go right away Father. Do ya' think $5,000 is enough to donate to them for the service?"
  Father Patrick exclaimed, "Sweet Mary, Mother of Jesus! Why didn't ya tell me the dog was Catholic?

• 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"?
