Do people really need to Spit?

So using that logic, someone could let their dog poop in the woods off the beaten track where it won't inconvenience anyone, and not pick it up, and that's OK?

Actually I've done that in the past, covered it in leaves and let nature degrade it naturally.

Besides, what happens if you get caught short? I suspect that its happened to a few of us, we've needed to go,
and I bet not one of us has picked it up and taken it home, more like covered it over and let the insects take care of it.

hmm do you think there is a market for human poo bags? And spit bags :)
 
trouble is theres no one size fits all ,someone that has smoked all there lifetime and is approaching old age will be more likely to have to cough up the accumulated muck and get it off there chest ,far better to cough it up spit it out than die choking ,however youngsters just doing it to look big/hard in front of girls is horrible .

Never took my dogs into town but even now I still carry poo bags, they just seem to breed in my coat pockets and the car :thinking:
As long as it's not on the path then I just leave it, it rots down anyway, it's the prats that pick it up on colourful bags and hang it on the hedges etc that annoy me :banghead:

If it could be certain not to inconvenience anyone then that would be ideal - why shouldn't animal faeces be allowed to break down naturally out of harms way?

Glad it's not just me.
I still find them sometimes, and my dog's been gone two years! :eek:

My dog does at times go under a bush, but I still do pick the poop up. After all a child could be playing there :)

How often do you come across badger poo or fox poo in woodland (when a dog hasn't found it for you)? I may have done once in my 54 years.

If I spit in the hedgerow while running, you won't be able to find it in 5 min time.

Horse poo on bridleways etc, and they do use the footpaths too in remote areas, why would a small amout of spit or dog poo
make that much difference compared to the piles you get from horses ?
 
Wonder why people Spit at their victims? Leaving DNA at the scene of the crime. :)

I'm not saying it's right, but other animals take a dump in the woods too. ;)

Spitting can really put you off a person. My mum used to love the Spaghetti western films, and loved one of the Actors. Not sure what actor it was, Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef possibly. Anyway she loved the actor up until the part when he was chewing tobacco, he did a big spit right on a dog's head. She called him a dirty B****** and never liked him since, can't recall her ever watching his films again :)

This was, I think, the classic The Outlaw Josey Wales. He spits all through it for humorous relief until at some point he is reminded to make an effort and has to grimacingly swallow it.
Also source of the classic line "Are you gonna pull those pistols pilgrim or whistle dixie?"

Ahh thanks for that, I thought there was some significance for the spitting. No idea how I thought it was a Clint Eastwood, Spaghetti western film. :thinking:

It is Clint Eastwood in it playing a cowboy, so you weren't far off!

Horse poo tends to be in large piles that you can see & ride around, plus it's from a grass-eating animal & therefore different in smell & consistency, tending not to stick. Dog poo tends to be discovered at the end of a ride when you dismantle the bike and find everything covered in it - and it sticks & stinks.

And if its on there for a day or two and drys, its a real [PLEASE DON'T TRY TO BYPASS THE SWEAR FILTER] to get off as well!

Can you give an example? I bet I wouldn't even recognise them as swear words, I was primarily about the f word but other rather crude ones exist. I never forget the family that arrived at a villa below us in Spain, they driven from the UK, upon arrival one of their boys immediately jumps in the pool with all his clothes on and his mum addresses him as

You f*****g little c***, get the f*** out of the f*****g pool. Act like a f*****g 8 year old, you little c***.

Allegedly it was scooped up, by a by-stander and sold on eBay, however it maybe an urban myth ...

After working in the pits for many years and chewing baccy trust me you do not want to swallow the saliva created, it hits your stomach and the you will vomit, projectile style, although I did not chew the brown screw outside the of the pit, any other need to spit has been created inside your body so surely it can be swallowed and degrade naturally?
 
I must admit to spitting this evening when walking the dog - a fly flew into my mouth, I moved to the side of the path a found a drain

I thought that was better than swallowing the fly
 
Sparrow s***.
Blackbird s***.
Starling s***.
Buzzard s***.
Rat s***.
Shrew s***.
Badger s***.
Rabbit s***.
Deer s***.
Horse s***.
Cow s***.
Sheep s***.
Pig s***.
Etc.

It's a world of s***, full of s***.

But when we blow our nose we keep it in a hankie and put it in our pocket.

Funny really, aren't we?
