I notice from time to time people will say "Now I have to clean off my screen from spitting out my drink" because they found something so funny in a thread. happy083.gif

I started wondering, do they literally do it or they mean it as a figure of speech? confused004.gif

I've never done it from something I read on VJ. Either because I haven't been mid sip of a drink when reading something funny, or because my screen is up on a the 2nd level of my desk and I doubt I'd actually get any on the screen if I did so.

I've done it with my friends or Sujeet in real life, sure, but never onto a computer screen nor keyboard.

So tell me...do you really? :P

(yes, putting this in off topic first since more ppl read it.) :innocent:

laughing @ Yodrak.

I did choke ONCE because my water went down the wrong tube - not necessarily cause I was laughing SO HARD but because it just did. I have definitely had a HEARTY laugh around here...but never SPIT things out...

Finally finished with immigration in 2012!

I have come across a few threads in the last year or so that have made me spit...literally...from laughing so hard. Pays to keep paper towels close by just in case, yanno? ;)

laughing @ Yodrak

but never SPIT things out...

I've heard that... :lol:

(Sorry, seeing Yodrak's name and that comment to me back to the old forums and the highly amusing thread about "Spitting or Swallowing") ;)
