-> I fully agree.  There are billions of the little stinkers in St Mark's
-> Square in Venice, and the tourists encourage them to perch along their

-> sure I did.  My niece reassured me that a head hit was extra lucky.
-> Fortunately it is my practice to retain a clean paper serviette from
-> airlines or restaurants, and carry it with me.  That helped.

Now you know why all those frenchmen in Paris wear berets upon they 
noggins! I have also heard that laugh and I know how you feel!
