re: #26 Aceofwhat?

$10 says it was spittle, not spit.

not that we’re likely to ever find out for sure.

I’m not really following Spittlegate, as I think there are other, more hilarious disturbing things to focus on, but from this:

washingtonpost.com

Cleaver told me: “I said to this one person, ‘You spat on me.’ I thought he was going to say, ‘Hey, I was yelling. Sorry.’ But he continuing yelling and, for a few seconds, I pointed at him and said, ‘You spat on me.’ “
[…]
“I would prefer to believe that the man who allowed his saliva to hit my face was irrational for a moment,” Cleaver said.

I get the impression that Cleaver also thinks it was spittle rather than spit. But that writer could be full of shit, I dunno.

Note: if it’s me, and we’re either not dating or I’m not paying you specifically for the purpose, I’d generally prefer to avoid any of your bodily fluids.
