The Spit Take or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Spittoon

I love to spit as much as the next guy, but I don't do in front of the whole wide world or web. I use a tissue, sink or toilet or if pushed I just swallow. But in the city of Edmonton, it's like the wild west out there, public spitting everywhere and I hate it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spitting
Gross and unsanitary, and you never know where the next one is going to come from, watch out for a change in wind direction!!!! No wonder some cultures don't let you wear shoes in the house. We no longer have nice dirt roads that can absorb the spittle, and the next thing you know there will be spit bouncing off the rubber sidewalks. http://www.metronews.ca/edmonton/comment/article/509661--bouncing-a-new-idea-where-rubber-hits-the-road

Saliva is said to have healing properties. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spittle">
Even comedic properties. Who doesn't love a good spit take.

I also strongly believe in spitting after brushing my teeth or while I am at the dentist. Did you know that the sink you use at the dentist's is called a cuspidor.

This brings us to the spittoon I say bring it back.

Howdy

Well, I've decided to start a blog. Why you might ask, well some people thought I have crazy ideas, or a unique point of view. The second reason, I've been doing it most of my life I just didn't know it. Although we probably all did this at one point or another. When I lived with my parents, before we all went to bed we talk a bit about our day or about interesting things we read or heard about. So missing this, I've decided to start my own blog. I hope you find it interesting and not too boring. No promises though!!!!
