    Default Getting shat upon

    Grrr.

    Up early this morning, fluoro's on in the shed; a bird comes in chasing the midges attracted to the lights. Does a circuit, craps and hits me in two spots and flies out.

    The day can only get better

    (The white and brown components clearly have different densities; the brown travelled further!).
    Cheers, Ern

    Are you sure the bird didn't mistake your chin for its nest and crapped itself at the last moment when it realised its mistake?
    .
    I know you believe you understand what you think I wrote, but I'm not sure you realize that what you just read is not what I meant.

    Regards, Woodwould.

    I thought the war was over long a go.

    Apparently birds only have one orifice for disposing of "waste matter". If humans develop the same way it will do away with need for dual flush toilets .
    To grow old is inevitable.... To grow up is optional

    Confidence, the feeling you have before you fully understand the situation.

    What could possibly go wrong.

    Yeah, IIRC the white stuff coats the acidic waste and stops their rings from burning. Not that I care.

    Ern,
    before I read your post I was certain it was about politics...both of them.., state & federal...
    Maybe it is an...allegoric story .....ummmm....I think that's it.

    Peter

    Maybe something about a bird being in the top job?

    Not that I mind that.

    Ern that's the problem, getting up early these cold mornings. If you slept in like me this would not have happened.

    LOL, I've been shat upon one way or another by birds more than once and with justification at times, but a literal event in the inner sanctum, pffft! This little avian got from the outer shed into the inner one, and after marking me in white and brown perched on one of the many clamps attached to one of the rafters. Checking out the effectiveness of its cross hairs I expect. Had to be shooed out.
    Cheers, Ern

    You shouldn't have stood still for so long. It obviously thought you were a statue
