Last night I was sitting on my porch when I felt something warm hit my leg. I look down to find a large spot of white goop with some dark poop pieces affixed to it. It took my brain a split second to realize what had happened and my stomach started turning. I was even gagging a little. this poo missile was quite warm and it landed directly on my leg, not a drop going elsewhere.

I have heard this is considered a lucky event but I am not exactly sure why. Perhaps the fact that bird poop has gotta land somewhere; if the Universe decides it should land upon you, then it's lucky, I guess.

here's some more reading on the topic: http://elgoosopimpo.blogspot.com/200...luck-myth.html

the event actually spurred me on to do a load of laundry so that was a good thing

Probably made up by people who have been pooped on to make themselves feel better.

I would not doubt the veracity of this statement

the link I provided broke down the luckiness of the defecation based on bird species. unfortunately it was dark and I have no clue what kind of bird it was

With the amount of birds on the planet, I'd be surprised if there was any surface that has not been hit at one time or another with a bird poop missle.

I got hit with a huge load on my arm one time while visiting Niagra Falls. I gagged a bit too and rubbed it off in the grass as much as I could and then found the nearest restroom to wash it off completely.

Disgusting.

Well, I can state as a matter of fact that little turtle was never hit by bird poop.

This guy?

No, this guy; found him a couple of weeks back in front of my house

Was he escaping or on his way in?

I found my collection of gold coins with him, so I guess he was on his way out

I’ve only ever been bird-poo-missiled once, and of course it had to land in my hair.

A friend of mine once got it while sunbathing. She was yawning. It hit her straight in (yes, in) the mouth. Now that’s gagging.

I gagged just reading that. I would have full-on vomitted and washed my mouth out with bleach for a few hours if that happened to me.

I’m pretty sure I’d feel similarly. I gagged a bit writing it down, too.

Luckily, this girl is a real country girl and can take a lot, so I think she just gagged. And washed her mouth out (though just with regular soap) for a few hours.

Ugh, I got hit once on the leg when I was a little kid (think 7 years old) on the Jersey shore. On that fateful day, I swore to never rest until every last seagull has been wiped off the face of God's green Earth.

Then my mom bought me some funnel cake, and I felt much better. I still f***ing hate seagulls though.

^ Curse that funnel cake—we might have been rid of the vicious shitting machines by now if you’d have kept your stamina for the mission without its appeasement.

Is "little turtle" the name you give your genitals?

[besson3c]

It's a good thing the bird didn't paint on your funnel cake. Better me than my funnel cake.

QFT .

[besson3c]

BTW, I didn't write "paint"

Here's a turtle that got tired of being painted upon:
