spit fail

I was driving around the other day. I was feeling optimistic, so I had my window rolled down about half-way. It felt nice. At one point in the drive, I felt something in my throat, so my natural inclination was to spit it out. I've grown quite confident in my spitting ability over time. With years of practice under my belt, I wound up and spit. Maybe I was overconfident or maybe it was just bad judgment, but it landed right on the inside of the window. I wanted to clean it off, but I was going down the freeway at 50 mph. Of course i didn't want to use my sleeve; that's disgusting. I was going to leave it there until I got done with my errands, but I forgot about it. When I got in my car to go home after work, I saw it and it was all dried on there. It was really hard to get off too. It reminded me of those shows on the discover channel where the birds make their nests out of their own saliva. They actually regurgitate over and over again, which I think birds are really good at, one on top of the other into a masterpiece of avian architecture. It looks really sick too. it's all clear and pointy. It looks like it could cut you if you held it wrong. I always wondered what it would be like to keep a jar of spit (snot is also accepted). Whenever I have a cold, I have a lot of spit (and snot) and could really fill up that jar. I went to a museum and saw a jar of spit once. Best museum ever.
