The Buckets by Greg Cravens for April 13, 2016

Must be a big radioactive poop. Did Billy’s head glow a greenish hue after that?

I lived on the Outerbanks of NC for several years. A favorite past time for tourists is to feed the seagulls. They hold food over their hands and the seagulls swoop in to take the food. It is very funny when the seagull leaves a gift in return!

I’ll bet the bird thought it was funny!

Comedy, like most every situation, is in the eyes of the beholder. I don’t remember who said it originally, but I still recall the (approximate) saying, “Comedy is someone else slipping & falling on a banana peel, Tragedy is me getting a hangnail.”

I go with not funny Toby.

Just remember, Eddie. If a bird poops on your head then you’ll have Good Luck.

(Not that I believe in any of that rubbish)

Wash it off fast. I had a bird poop on something made of wool that I was drying in the sun and it ate away at it and weakened the fibers.

Another time, I went to our local video rental place. The owners were from “up North”. They owned a very nice convertible and as I drove into the parking lot I noticed the owner feeding crackers to a flock of swooping seagulls…right next to his top down convertible. I walked up and mentioned how it was a very nice day and he laughed and said it was as he continued to feed the birds. I said it “looks like you’re having fun”. He just grinned and kept on going. As I turned to go inside I mentioned how nice his car was and wondered out loud how hard it was to clean bird poop out of upholstery! He gave me a “deer in the headlight look” I just grinned and went inside. When I came out the birds were gone and the car top was up….
