Fly often enough and it may happen.

I've not had it yet, but have had a very rapidly aborted take off from AKL a few years ago when the tower spotted the remains of some birds on the runway that had hit the plane taking off just before us. We just had to wait on the runway for someone to clean it up, before going a round the taxi way and doing another take off (with time for the brakes to cool down enough).
