My luck shall explode everywhere
As the pigeon crapped on my head yesterday, I immediately thought about the Russian adage that 'if a bird poops on you, you will have good luck.'
Actually, first I frantically squeegee'd my head, tried not to make a huge spectacle, and THEN I thought about the adage.
Oh luck, please be at Bed Bath and Beyond, where I am buying a vent for the bathroom window to help with the stench in the apartment.

There's an old saying, ""If the first thing you do each morning is to eat a live frog, you can go through the day with the satisfaction of knowing that that is probably the worst thing that is going to happen to you all day long!"
Maybe it's the same with pigeon poo. :)

I wish I got pooped on the head instead of my cheek before my first piano recital, otherwise I would've won first place.

I think the Russian adage you're really searching for is:
"Shit happens."

It doesn't exactly sound like the bluebird of happiness. However, I do hope some good luck starts coming your way. Nice duct tape job by the way.

"a vent for the bathroom window to help with the stench"? Honey, sounds like you need some bran in your diet.
Oh, wait, your are talking about the smoke stench. Nevermind.

I got pooped on by a bird a few years back. It was while I was out running, so I took off my shirt and wiped off my head. I wished at the time that I had shaved my head.
And I had a crappy run after that too.

I think that bird was late. Pooped on you with luck you'd already had: the fire was a mess, but you're all okay.
Silly bird.
*smooch*

My car must be the luckiest car on earth, then. Of course, here in Oregon, it's really hard not to park under a tree.
