| Great Expectorations |
Fun for all the family!
The normal human body produces about one litre of saliva per 24 hours. Spitting is one way of dealing with this liquid largesse, and the action is broken down by keen practitioners into three parts.
First the "dredge", or accumulation of a satisfyingly large amount of expectorate, second the "intake", or inhalation of breath with which to expel the fluid, and third the actual "hawk" or spit itself.
The world distance record for mere saliva is believed to stand at 25 feet 10 inches, although since the Guinness Book of Records abandoned this category in favour of spitting objects such as cherry stones, water melon pips (photos right) or frozen crickets (really!), it may have been beaten.
Length matters, but so too does accuracy, and calculating wind velocity and direction pre-spit is crucial if one is not to "get one's own back"! |
