One spit too many

A 43-YEAR-OLD German man has been taken to hospital in critical condition after falling off a second storey balcony during a spitting contest with his 12-year-old son, police say.

A spokesman for the police in the eastern town of Cottbus today said the man in Forst had apparently lost his balance after thrusting too far forward in his attempt to out-spit his son.

He tumbled over the ledge and landed on a balcony of the ground floor apartment, police said.

He was taken to hospital in a rescue helicopter.

Maybe they were trying to hit the principal at Galesburg.

From the comments I've seen , some wouldn't spit on him if he was on fire !
