How’s this for the proverbial good luck? Video goes viral online

They say it’s good luck whenever a bird poops on you from high above. If that’s true, then Ashley Young, the midfielder for the Manchester United, is in for a very hefty dose of it because one bird pooped right into his mouth.

Whilst he was speaking. Let that sink in for a second.

Once you did that, check out the Vine below, which captures the exact moment when this strange occurrence happened. According to the Daily Mail, Young was “ranting at his team’s sloppy defense during their 2-1 defeat to Swansea City yesterday afternoon.”

I don’t know much about soccer unless it involves models or the total eye-candy that is David Beckham. So let me just rephrase that: Ashley Young was mad that things weren’t going as great as he had thought they would be, and the moment he opened his mouth to say something about it, he had one bird deliver its “cargo” right in his mouth.

Not on the mouth or on the cheek near the mouth, but right inside the mouth. In this Vine, you can tell he’s too upset to pay any kind of attention to that yucky stuff that just landed on the inside of his lip, but I’m guessing he was spitting like crazy the moment he realized what it was.

He might not have had the best day possible, but at least Young (and that skilled bird) won the Internet. You can probably imagine the poo-poo jokes making the rounds right now.
