A bird pooped on my coat last week. Someone told me it was good luck if a bird poops on you. Three business days and a $31 dry cleaning bill later, I can't help but think it's not good luck at all but that's just something people say to make you feel better because you just got pooped on.
In fact, I'm starting to wonder who deemed it good luck. Who was the first bird poopee? Was it the optomistic friend of said poopee? Why was that deemed good luck but stubbing your toe still means nothing? Getting an eyelash in your eye? Papercuts? All nothing?? Psh, I'm going to start buying lottery tickets whenever something bad happens. The way I see it, I'm probably due for something good sometime soon anyway.
I too am beginning to reevaluate the inner workings of the universe in regards the inheritance of “good luck”. After 60+ years of avoiding walking under ladders, throwing salt over my left shoulder, carrying a full set of horse shoes in one pocket and a collection rabbit foots in the other; my luck doesn’t seem to be changing. The only things I’ve noticed is that the floor is getting saltier and my pants keep falling down.
