· “We had a very disappointing response for participation in the Convention Parade – only 17 members signed up. I'm hoping that some who did not attend the meeting will contact me to be included in the parade. But really, 17 is hardly worth the effort required to put this together. Let me know if you're interested. If we don't get more, we just won't participate this year. Thanks.” Jo Ann

Funny Poop
· Three boys are in the schoolyard bragging of how great their fathers are. The first one says: "Well, my father runs the fastest. He can fire an arrow, and start to run, I tell you, he gets there before the arrow". The second one says: "Ha! You think that's fast? My father is a hunter. He can shoot his gun and be there before the bullet". The third one listens to the other two and shakes his head. He then says: "You two know nothing about fast. My father works for the government. He stops working at 4:30 and he is home by 3:45"!!
· The teacher wrote on the blackboard, “I ain’t had no fun all summer.”
“Now Paul,” she said. “What shall I do to correct this?”
“Get a boyfriend.” Paul replied.
“Now Paul,” she said. “What shall I do to correct this?”
“Get a boyfriend.” Paul replied.
· A guy goes into a bar, orders twelve shots, and starts drinking them as fast as he can. The bartender says, "Dang, why are you drinking so fast?"
The guy says, "You would be drinking fast, too, if you had what I had."
The bartender asks, "What do you have?"
The guy answers, "75 cents."

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
