1. hmm...what about neither?
Edited on Tue Sep-28-04 08:28 PM by mark414
though i do have a preference, for other reasons

edit: i should've said, i'm not partial to either, so long as both options exist

if neither option exists...then, bah

4. Reminded me of a bit of trivia my manager at the pharmacy I worked
at told me.

1) Listerine is the pure-alkie drink, since A) it's 20% alcohol, and B) you can get it at anytime of the day in any metropolitan area - as no Walgreens/Wal-Mart/CVS/etc employee has reason to refuse it.

So, spit, because ingesting Listerine is bad for you. Oh yeah, and

C) Pedialyte is the true alkie cure, another gem of information from this former manager of mine. He went on to work at Linen's and Things, I think he's happier there.

and no, I don't chug Listerine or slam Pedialyte the day after.

5. Swallow....always
People who spit are disgusting.

So unless you are siphoning gas and overdo it...swallow.

6. Definitely spit. You can get...
...flouride poisoning if you consistently swallow your toothpaste.

10. Swallow. Anything else is rude.
Edited on Tue Sep-28-04 08:46 PM by tjdee
Spitting is always gross.

I hate when people "hock" "loogies" (unsure of proper spelling of either of those yucky words). Yuck.

13. Neither.
A courtesy tap on the shoulder is the height of etiquette.

14. Yeah we all know, for all the joking
and it's a stupid situation to be in, in the first place don't you think?

I mean, there's a time for phase one, and a time for phase two.

Your poor timing is your problem.
