I saw a flying “V” of birds and recollected upon my childhood.  I was wearing a green pair of shorts and practicing baseball alone.  Throwing the ball high up and catching the “pop up”.  That is until a birdie pooped  on me.  Sure, reminds me of Stewart from Mad Tv, I think.  But yes a bird shat itself on me.  Made me wonder the odds of it happening.  Then asked others around me if that ever happened to them.  Long way of asking.  But have you ever had a bird bomb baste your body?

we were on vacation, I was 12. Cave City, Kentucky. I remember all this particularly because it was also the summer I broke my arm. That bird dropped a bomb that seeped into my plaster cast. can't get it wet, so good luck cleaning the funk out.

I may have cursed that bird more than the ancient mariner cursed the albatross.

Yes, while standing at attention in formation inside an aircraft hangar while undergoing a personnel inspection. Right down my back. I didn't realize it until my division officer, who was inspecting, asks me "Homebiscuit, did you know a bird [BLEEP] on you?" "Uh, no sir." 

Regardless, I passed with an outstanding, which left the guy next to me fuming because he thought he should have gotten an outstanding as well. What can I say, the D.O. was a fellow Kentuckian and UK Wildcats fan.

would have probably become the new standard to be evaluated against had you replied "Sir, yes, sir!"

Thank you for your service.
