What is with all the spitting??
Never discovered a nasal or (if you wear one) mustache hair in phlegm when clearing your throat???? What do you do? Swallow it, or reach in there and dig it out?

Really wouldn't hurt to swallow it.
There are only a few good reasons to spit:
1) a bug flew into your mouth (now many can be swallowed for protein, but if it's a bee, you'd be in trouble, so better spit to be on the safe side).
2) you just bit into a rotten piece of fruit (this could be swallowed too if you manly enough, but spitting is justified).
3) You accidently popped an Ex-lax tablet into your mouth when you meant to take a Viagra.
4) You discover broken glass shards in your food.
Swallowing phlegm, expecially when you have a bad cold, may be healthful and certainly it's better to snort up the runny nose stuff and swallow than to blow it out into a rag, especially in public.
Well, at least the ballplayers are just spitting on the field. Would hate to see a new habit of barnyard blows (plug one nostril and blow the contents of the other on the ground, then repeat for other side).
