I saw that on Olbermann. It was pretty funny. I wonder if it’s possible to award a medal to a sparrow. ---

Y’all have never heard that getting shit on by a bird is good luck? I wish, however, that it went down for Bush the way it went down for [Cyndi Lauper](http://xolondon.blogspot.com/2004/05/bird-poops-in-cyndi-laupers-warbling.html). ---

I vaguely remember that, but if I’ve been shit on by a bird once, and I wasn’t too happy, I’ll tell you. ---

Give that bird a Presidential Medal Of Freedom! Why not? Everybody else in Washington who shits on people gets one. ---

A bird pooped on my mother as she walked into the church to marry hubby #2. She should have used as a sign of things to come, it definitely was not good luck. ---

Last month, we cooked out on the grill. My wife was flipping a burger, not 2 seconds after she sat it down, a bird pooped right on it. Didn’t get anywhere else, just a little squirt right on that burger. We were not sure it was good luck, but no one ate it anyways. It was thrown away… Brendon Small ---

I remember one of my teachers-a nun-telling us about one of her fellow sisters having her habit pooped on before Mass, so she went and changed. And when she got back from church, it ate a HOLE in said habit. ---

I remember when Gerald Ford took shit-spray during a tour of a Wisconsin dairy farm. On this basis, I can not give credence to either “it’s good luck” or kharma camp. ---
