No, really! I was bicycling happily along, or as happy as I ever am when going to a meeting, and suddenly my right cheeck is full of something wet and slimy. It was disgusting. [Mad]

You sure it was a bird?

I mean, think about it . . .

Incidentally, the word is "cheek." The C is both silent and invisible. [Smile]

LOL, that reminds me of a friend whose spiritual leader told her, "you know, if you walked out the door and a bird crapped on your head you would take it as a sign."

Anyway, jokes about cosmic meaning (or lack thereof) aside, I AM sorry, not a pleasant experience!!

Well, I have the all-time record of being crapped on 6 different occasions by wild birds outside. One of those times I was riding my bike about 20mph and managed to get hit by a stationary crow perched on a lampost. Not only that, but his crap hit me on 5 different spots up my hand and arm. What are the odds of that?

I started believing the Far Side cartoon where birds see the whole word as a bunch of bullseye marks.

My record would have been 7, but I luckily turned at the last minute, narrowly missing a bird bomb.

I hear that if a bird craps in your hair, you're supposed to let it dry, and then it will just flake off.

anyone else heard that before? Is it true?

I don't know if that's true, but I definitely had the opportunity to try it at least twice.

Birds must really dislike me.

This reminds me that back then, when people had to deal with dinosaurs crossing their "living room", they also had birds the size of cows ...

One of my greatest moments of triumph as a small child was my older brother discovering that I was using "his" swing (aka the better of the two rope swings we had rigged up) and forcing me to get off of it so that he could use it, and then watching as a bird proceeded to crap on his head seconds after he started using it. It was a beautiful thing.

I've been crapped on twice.

The first time, I stepped to the side for no reason and instead of hitting me, it hit my sister.

The second time, I had just lifted my newspaper and opened it, and the poop landed right in the middle of the page.

He heh he.

Maybe the bird was a theist. [Razz]

Good one, Icarus. I may use that. [Big Grin]

Any eight-year-old of my acquaintance would know enough not to use an apostrophe in a plural.

That's not an apostrophe, its a speck of bird droppings that got stuck on this thread.
