I used to believe the scar on my Grandpa's nose came from a pigeon pecking at it, cuz that is what he told me when I was about 10. (He used to raise homing pigeons) Now, I'm 35 and recently asked him how a pigeon could do that without him stopping it......
He laughed and laughed.... Then told me that it was a mole that left a very bad cleft scar there!
