When I was a kid, we were vacationing in Port Aransas, the Redneck Riviera of the Gulf of Mexico. One day at the beach, I was targeted and subsequently dive-bombed by a vindictive seagull. He left a goopy trail of gritty, brown and white excrement from just behind my right ear to a point around my shoulder blade. Ha, ha. Mildly annoying, and funny for everyone else, but not really that uncommon or too much of an inconvenience because I could just go into the Gulf and wash it off.
Fast forward a few hours, and I am sitting with my family at a nice (probably not super-nice TBH) restaurant and we are dining outside on a deck by the water. At a covered table. Right about the time our plates are being cleared away I am struck out of nowhere again in the exact same spot with the exact same payload. It was like warm tan paint on my skin and seeping into my shirt. I would probably place the odds of this happening to one person in Port Aransas in a short time span on the same body part at about 1/200 because I know nothing about odds.
So the point is: laugh all you want, but it's not impossible. BTHO Everyone. And commence with your completely original Dumb and Dumber quotes as you will.
