One time, my dad was sitting by a campfire with a cup of coffee in his hand, and a seagull flew overhead and "bombed" him -- running a steady line of drops along his arm, with the exclamation point of a big PLOP right in the coffee.

It was a sight to see. I'll never forget it.

The plop in the coffee was a nice touch!

Coffee flavoring huh?

Hmmm... just for reference, when I get to your house, I take my coffee with *nothing* added!

OK... Sea Story time...

Picture the CGC Polar Sea, inport in Seattle. The Deck gang was mustered on deck for quarters (8:00am). We're all standing there in ranks, at attention... when this seagull comes in for a low pass...

SPLAT! Seagull nails this guy in the deck gang right on the shoulder. Now normally this would be funny... but in this case it was exraordinarily funny. This was the ONE guy in the deck gang that if anything crappy (so to speak) would happen... it would happen to him. He had the worst luck on the whole planet. If something was gonna go all entirely wrong... you could bet he was in the middle of it.

But then... the tora-tora-tora seagull whipped up into a split-S rollover, and circled around again... and... you guessed it... SPLAT... nailed the SAME GUY again!!

Don't EVEN tell me that seagulls don't know EXACTLY what they're doing when they do it. :-)
