Ha ha ha...thanks for the chuckle! And a memory. Once, after riding my bicycle along Chicago's lakefront, I had lunch soon after and happened to run into a television news celebrity who I introduced myself to, etc. We exchanged pleasantries. And then I went to the ladies room. HORRORS! A bird had pooped on my new leather jacket, a neat splotch on my left shoulder. Embarrassing...
If a bird poops on you or anything you own, it's said to be good luck. The Russian superstition is based on the rare odds of actually being pooped on by a bird. With as many birds as there are in the sky, it's supposedly more rare to be pooped on by one than it is to win the lottery.
Whoops! Definite one for sorrow here. :)

I have been pooped on a few times and never won the lottery sadly, infact I don't remember it being very fortunate!
