I Predict an Incredibly Good Week!

September 7, 2008 by Rick Latona 

When I was selling cars, back in the day, a bird flew by and took a dump right in the very center of the tie I was wearing. My sales manager walked by, pointed at it and told me, “Son, you are going to sell more cars today than anyone!”.

This weekend I had a similar experience. Standing on my back porch, having a very important business conversation on the phone, a wasp dive bombed at my face and stung me right in the center of my nose!

LMAO, you should have seen me. I screamed various extremities then, dropped my phone on the ground and ran inside the house like a scared little kid while the pain spread from my nose to my cheeks.

Another funny thing about it is that when I called my associate back he told me he didn’t believe the story. He told me that every time we start to get somewhere I want to get off the phone.

I don’t know what the odds are of getting stung in the middle of the nose but I predict an incredibly good week.

    lololo thats one hell of a long shot ! But I for one can believe it as it reminds me when I was a kid in Ireland - I had a hole in my shoe and had to make an appearance at church for the last 5 mins (so I could tell my folks which priest had given the service !)
    Anyhow just as I stepped inside the church I got stung in the foot what turned out to be a wasp - I then spent the next 5 mins hopping around the back of the church like a kid possessed- poor Father o’Leary must have thought he had SATAN himself @ his service

    HA! I’m not sure what gettin stung on the nose entails for you, but neither events sound like good omens. Either way, you’re Rick Latona, it shouldn’t take much for you to have a good week! Thanks for the laugh =)

    Sound you made would probably be what the colors on this website would make if colors could talk.

    Rick, the wasp sting sounds like an excuse to get off the phone and now your blogging about it so that guy you were on the phone with will believe you a little more.

    We’ll have to see a pic to believe this one!

    Haha

    If this is a sign of a VERY GOOD WEEK to come then watch what you touch cause it will turn to gold. And talk about perfect timing. My first AEIOU developed site is being worked on this week. Let’s hope some of your Good Luck brushes off on it.
