I have been saying I have been either running really good or really bad right?

Well hear this story……

I went to a wedding for an ex-teammate of mine from college baseball.  The wedding was outdoors.  It was at a really great setting right off of a lake.  It was a great place for a wedding.

My friend's wedding

Right before the ceremony began, I get something thrown on my right forearm.  Or soooo I thought….

As I look down at my forearm, wearing my suit, I see some foreign substance splatter onto me.  The “stuff” was so abundant when it hit my right forearm, it splattered onto my left knee.  I thought at first maybe it was ice that someone was throwing at me as a joke, but after some time I realized exactly what it was.

It was white in substance, we were outdoors….you guessed it.  My suit was littered with bird shit!  I could use a better word than shit, but hey, that is what it was!  I couldn’t believe it.  Everyone sitting within 3 rows of me either saw it take place or learned of it.  Because it was a riot.

I didn’t know what to do.  At first I was thinking I should be pissed and make a scene.  But it could of happened to anyone.  I looked at my wife seated to my left, and she couldn’t help but laugh.  So too were everyone else.    I mean what could I do?  What did I do?

I just decided to laugh along with everyone else.  Because I mean how unbelievable is that?  It could have happened to anyone, it just so happened to be little ole’ me.  I got up from my seat.  Walked to go find something to wipe it off with away from the laughter.  I briskly, red-cheeked and all, walked by the groom and he said he saw it happen before it did as I continued on in disbelief to find a tissue or something to wipe it all off.

After a few minutes of wiping it down with a napkin, my suit was like new…..but one thing is for sure, my suit is still going to the cleaners tomorrow!  When I returned back to my seat, I was greeted with more laughter as the wedding party was making their way down the aisle.

As the wedding was in progress, every so once in a while we would hear birds in the distance.  Though to me it sounded like they were laughing at me, it seemed to everyone else around me they were saying “watch out”, as everyone was looking in the sky as if to say “I don’t want to get shit on too”.  It was too funny.  Just look at the picture above, you see a friend of mine’s wife looking up to the sky in the foreground, everyone was doing that for the rest of the ceremony.

Ugh, I run bad!!!!!

But hey, they say luck even’s out over time…..I need to go buy a lottery ticket!
