Mucus

Because swallowing mucus and lungies is really nasty. I try not to spit, but sometimes, you just gotta get that crap out of your mouth. It's not like littering. It lasts for about 3 hours, max, on the ground.

Take a poll of 10 men and tell me how many carry tissues with them while walking into a store.

That's what I was thinking.

Then instead of grossing the rest of us out, be a man a swallow it.

Reminds me of seeing Duran Duran back in December, and Simon LeBon kept going to the back of the stage and spitting. I read later in the blogs on their website that they'd been passing a cold amongst each other...

true enough, which brings me to my next point, why do MEN spit so much.
you would never see a woman spit like that. well I shouldn't say never, but you know what I mean, it would be a rare thing, but almost every time I am in a parking lot, or city street I see a man spit

I don't ever spit where it would be noticeable to anyone else. Maybe walking by a sewer drain, or on some dirt. I would never hock one out in a parking lot.

Because it's cool.

Just kidding.

Maybe men generate more saliva and mucus. More men snore than women too. At least, that's what my wife tells me.

you timed it

Yup - I was bored last Thursday.

I would assume it's no different than water.

Ok, well just so we don't have to see it.

It's mucus. Not water. It's thicker than water and doesn't absorb or dissipate as fast.

That's about 3 hours too long.

I've never understood the need to spit, either. I've never spit in public or private that I can remember.

how gross is that.
i would have had to go home and decontaminate myself.......LOL

Oh, this reminds me!
We were inside the Aquarium of the Americas in New Orleans and a guy hocks a loogie and spits it right on the floor in front of the nice lobby water fountain where everyone is stopping to take pictures.

I think I said something like "That is disgusting" and he says "What do you expect me to do?" at which point my husband drags me away before I tell him what I expected him to do with it! OMG!

IMO, its not much different than peeing or crapping on the floor, it just doesn't require removing your pants!

I see people doing it in Disney all the time. That is nasty to me. I would never spit where people could walk through it.

Man, this is a nasty thread.
