At least your experience had religious overtones. Maybe it wasn't a pigeon; maybe it was a descending dove, which might account for the velocity. A dive bomb effect. You may actually have received a divine blessing from above, airmail-similar to the one the boys and I had when we sat on the steps of St. Paul's and sang Feed the Birds. People gave us a wide berth, but as we were in the throes of religious ecstasy, we weren't offended. We were sitting where Julie Andrews had once sat. Another profound experience occurred at the top of the Eiffel Tower from whence Chevy Chase had thrown his beret in European Vacation (followed by a very small and stupid dog). Probably one of my greatest moments was spinning around in circles on a hilltop in Salzburg and singing loudly, "The hills are alive..." while the rest of the tourbus watched in horror and Dan snapped lots of photos.

Somehow I seem to have migrated from excretory experiences to spiritual revelations....
