Funny Poop
· Jake was sitting in a bar and noticed a group of people using sign language.
He also noticed that the bartender was using sign language to speak to them.
When the bartender returned to him, Jake asked how he had learned to use sign language.
The bartender explained that these were regular customers and had taught him to speak in sign. Jake thought that was great.
A few minutes later Jake noticed that the people in the group were waving their hands around very wildly.
The bartender looked over and signed, "Now cut that out! I warned you!" and threw the group out of the bar.
Jake asked why he had done that and the bartender said, "If I told them once I told them 100 times - NO SINGING IN THE BAR!"

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
