I've heard it's good luck to have a bird poop on you...but nothing about a worm in your lettuce. Was it lettuce you bought at the store or a salad at a restaurant?
Thanks for the comments, guys. You are cracking me up. The worm was in store-bought lettuce. It's pretty common to find creatures in the produce as it's very fresh. I think I'd rather eat pesticides, though.
Jessica, I've been giving this a lot of thought (which goes to show how lame my life is). Out of all the millions of people in Japan, why would a bird poop on you? Were you giving off anti-avian vibes? Perhaps it was an anti-American bird. At any rate, don't let it get you down. A famous man once said "poop happens". As for the worm, obviously, it was your fault. You were invading the worm's natural habitat. I hope you took the worm outside and set it free.
What does it say about us that we all clamor to comment about bird poop and worms but when you expound in detail about the cultural differences you experience on a daily basis and the adventure of a lifetime...nothing.

In Japanese tradition, bird poop signifies "great knowledge bestowed to you." When it lands on you, however, that's just funny to others around you.

Bo got pooped on at our wedding, and look how happy we are! Gross for a moment, happiness forever!

There is something philosophical here...something with the bird who gets the worm...not sure where the produce and poop tie in. I'm working on it.
