"Accept that some days you're the pigeon, some days you're the statue."
Roger C. Anderson
I'd really rather not be either! But FPL certainly does give you that feeling of being constantly shat upon from on high.
This rueful quip crops up quite often across the Internet, without any definite attribution. If the commonly ascribed name is correct (far from certain; it might rather be 'anonymous'), I think the most likely suspect is this chap, an early 20th century English explorer, collector, and lifelong naval history buff, whose greatest distinction appears to have been holding the editorship of the historical journal, Mariner's Mirror. (Perhaps he's not that likely a candidate. But he's the only person I can find of that name who was any kind of a writer.)
