I have better things to do other than watch old men engage in vigorous spitting competitions. Seriously. A 5 min walk to my block of flats allowed me to encounter various levels of spitting expertise exhibited by the above mentioned old men. No wonder they call them dirty. Spitting is a IRRITATING, DISGUSTING, MIND-BOGGLING, REFLEX-TESTING, ENVIRONMENTALLY AND SOCIALLY UNDESIRABLE habit, and well, it's also THROAT-CLEARING. Seriously la, these old men right, are definately not frail, or weak as normally associated with old age. They have such power in their throats, it is UNBELIEVABLE. A simple innocent "KKKKKKKKWWWWWWAAAARRRRRKKKKKK!" can summon up powers from the heavens above, and "PHHHHOOOOOOEEEEEYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!" the spit travels several metres. o.O So pro. So DISGUSTING. Then people must SIAM, and all that....the next unsuspecting person who steps on the spit will.....*shudders*
;and the DODO has the final say.
