I can understand people spitting lugies even though it is completely disgusting, but even as a child i never did get Spitting for the pleasure of it. Wouldn't you know, I married a spitter.
He was a parent volunteer on a field trip with the 3rd grade kids. They were at the waterfront and all the boys were getting antsy. the teacher freaked out when she saw him and all the little kids spitting off the pier !
(they were quiet!!)
