Poll: Would You Spit or Swallow?

[Aethren]

Let's face it boys and girls, we're all going to or have already done it at least once, so let's be honest here. When you're out swimming and end up getting water from a lake, river, or hell, even a pond in your mouth, would you or did you swallow it like a champ, or spit it out?

 

[thylasos]

BOOM!

But on topic, I tend to spit it out, given that the water in swimming pools or the reservoir near where I grew up are none too clean.

 

[Dirzzit]

Well I did'nt expect that.............

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Depends if I'm getting paid

I try not to swallow the water I'm swimming in. But then again, I've only ever swam in a pool or the sea. Both of them have copious amounts of bodily waste in them.

You know. I lived in San Diego most of my life. I moved to Maine a few years ago and swam in a lake for the first time after being ocean bound my whole life. It was a bit sureal tasting a large body of water that wasnt salty. I drank a bit.

 

[katsumoto03]

It's always so salty and gross in my mouth, so I spit. Then again, spitters are quitters.

 

[Keymik]

Spit. Because fish have sex in the sea.

 

[Stammer]

When all of the natural swimming areas (creeks, lakes, etc) within 1000 miles of your house are essentially filled with human waste, you tend to spit rather than swallow.

 

[Mr Shrike]

Spit.

It gives you a stomach ache otherwise.

 

[Tinneh]

Swallow. I base my answer on what I expected the poll to be about. Deal with it, homophobes :U

 

[Anezay]

It typically doesn't matter, water just doesn't stick around if your mouth is open, it tends to flow out. So, technically neither, but spit in spirit.

 

[Tinneh]

Swallow. I base my answer on what I expected the poll to be about. Deal with it, homophobes :U

 

[Hachura]

'Like a champ'? You mean like a goddamned idiot. How dirty do you think that water is? How'd you know there's not an animal carcass or someone taking a dump upstream?

 

[Free Thinker]

What's with these thread titles?!?! I came here on the wrong day.

If it isn't cleaned and 100% safe to drink, I'm spitting it out.

 

[C95J]

"Don't drink water, fish have sex in it"

So I spit of course

 

[Pipotchi]

Swallow! The taste is already in my mouth so quickest way to get rid is down rather than sloshing it around my mouth like a Jolly Rancher

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

I don't swim. It involves taking my clothes off.

If I did, however, I wouldn't even open my mouth. I have never encountered a body of water that was entirely trustworthy.

 

[blankedboy]

Called it :3

I swallow from pools I trust, otherwise spit.

 

[MrTub]

I would spit.

Truth be told I thought this thread would be a completely different thing
