Weekly Poop 2/15/17


Roost #44 Poop
  • Dates to Remember:
    • Thursday, February 23 – Roost Indoor Mini Golf
    • Thursday, March 2 – Entertainment Committee Meeting
    • Saturday, March 11 – St. Paddy’s Day Parade
    • Friday, June 2 – 20th Annual Scholarship Golf Tournament
  • Road Trip 2017 – The Ravens game in London will be well represented by RR44. There are 24 people going on some combination of 3 trip options, plus a couple more who have made their own travel arrangements but will be at the game with us. If anyone is still interested, we MAY be able to add a few to the package and the price will probably be higher, but let me know ASAP.
    Now that we have the London trip together, I am starting work on a possible trip to Nashville. I need to get a good idea of how many members are interested in going, so please let me know by email and I will have a sign up sheet at the Feb. meeting. I am looking at two options and will let the group decide which one they prefer after we have all the details.
    1) I will order the game tickets, reserve a block of rooms as we have done in the past, letting everyone call to make their own reservations and book their own airfare. There are a number of hotels right downtown that are convenient for walking to the stadium, restaurants, bars and entertainment areas. Downtown Nashville is very easy to navigate by foot and their are plenty of cabs if you need them.
    2) I will get Fandeavor to give us a price on a trip that will include airfare, hotel, game ticket and transportation to and from the airport.
    Hopefully we will have more to cheer about this season.
    Thanks, Gary.

Funny Poop
  • An elderly Christian lady was well-known for her faith and for her confidence in talking about it. She would stand in front of her house and say "God be praised" to all those who passed by.
    Next door to her lived an atheist who would get so angry at her proclamations he would shout, "There ain't no Lord!!"
    Hard times came upon the elderly lady, and she prayed for God to send her some assistance. She would pray out loud in her night prayer "Oh Lord! I need food!! I am having a hard time, please Lord, PLEASE LORD, SEND ME SOME GROCERIES!!"
    One night the atheist happened to hear her as she was praying, and decided to play a prank on her. The next morning the lady went out on her porch and found a large bag of groceries. She raised her hands and shouted, "God be praised!."
    The neighbor jumped from behind a bush and said, "Aha! I told you there was no Lord. I bought those groceries, God didn't."
    The old lady laughed and clapped her hands and said, "God BE PRAISED. He not only sent me groceries, but he made the devil pay for them!"

Funny Poop
  • Little Johnny is taking a shower with his mother and says, "Mom, what are those things on your chest!?" Unsure of how to reply, she tells Johnny to ask his dad at breakfast tomorrow, quite certain the matter would be forgotten.
    Johnny didn't forget. The following morning he asked his father the same question. His father, always quick with the answers, says, "Why Johnny, those are balloons. When your mommy dies, we can blow them up and she'll float to heaven." Johnny thinks that's neat and asks no more questions.
    A few weeks later, Johnnys' dad comes home from work a few hours early. Johnny runs out of the house crying hysterically, "Daddy! Daddy! Mommy's dying!!"
    His father says, "Calm down son! Why do you think Mommy's dying?"
    "Uncle Harry is blowing up Mommy's balloons and she's screaming, "Oh God, I'm coming!"
  • While golfing, I accidentally overturned my golf cart. A very attractive female golfer, who lived in a villa on the golf course, heard the noise and called out, "Are you okay?"
    "I'm okay thanks," I replied as I pulled myself out of the twisted cart.
    She said, "Come up to my villa, rest a while, and I'll help you get the cart up later.
    "I noticed her silky bathrobe was partially open, revealing what appeared to be a very nice figure. "That's mighty nice of you," I answered, "but I don't think my wife would like it!"
    "Oh come on now," she insisted.
    She was so pretty, and very, very persuasive. I was weak. "Well okay," I finally agreed, "But I'm sure my wife won't like it."
    After a couple of Scotch and waters, I thanked her and said, "I feel a lot better now. But I know my wife is going to be really upset. So I'd better go now."
    "Don't be silly!" she said with a smile, letting her robe fall slightly more open. "Stay for awhile. She won't know anything. By the way, where is she?"
    I replied, "Still under the cart, I guess."
