Strength in Numbers
If you walk into a bird sanctuary that doesn’t keep birds in cages (it is a bird sanctuary, after all), then you should expect to have a reasonable amount of bird poo land on your shoulder. And hair. Quite possibly inside your shirt, too. And for the love of everything that’s holy, refrain from looking upward with your mouth agape.
But if you do get bird poo all over yourself, you can take solace in the fact that the other guests are covered in just as much white goop as you. That way, you can all divide the number of glances and whispers aimed in your direction. That’s the meaning of strength in numbers.
