Spit,splat.smash!

2007 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

Darwin says, "Thanks for the submission, but the spitting competition has been done numerous times before, with lethal results: Aim to Win and Dead Spitter. In this case, the man didn't exit the gene pool; plus (upsettingly) his son was watching. So this is a story that shall remain in the slush pile as a cautionary tale."
Cobbus Germany. There are some things that a father should not encourage his 12 year old son to do, for instance spit from his balcony into the street 3 floors below.

While our genius was having a spitting contest with his son he decided to thrust himself forward to increase his range & outspit the boy, instead he managed to clear the railing himself & land on the balcony of a ground floor appartment.

He was taken to hospital by helicopter where he was listed as being in a critical condition.

Unfortunately, the victim falls well short of our minimum age requirement (16) and cannot be held responsible for his actions. Thanks just the same, Morgan, we DO appreciate it!

OOPS! I misread the article! It was the FATHER and NOT the kid who fell! I'll vote nominal HM here!

Neutral: Honorable Mention
Spitting is an abhorrent practise at any time, but this guy takes the biscuit. I wonder if this will cure him of his dreadful habit?


Bruce said:
Definitely Keep: Honorable Mention
This certainly does sound like perfect Darwinian behavior. Thanks, Morgan!

"Oh yeah? Well, watch THIS!". Famous last words of the Darwin (or in this case Honorable Mention) Award winner. Thanks for sending this story, Morgan
