I recently heard that a woman swimmer, unnamed, on the elite level, has been known to spit in her opponent's lane before a sprint race.
Is this just ill-mannered pscyhing or something more sinister? I read on one of Gary Hall Jr.'s race club blogs that this might be a technique for getting a competitor to test positive for steroids or other drugs.
This has a somewhat Urban Legend quality to it that causes my spider sense to tingle. Nevertheless, I am wondering if the more knowledgable folks on the forum might have an explanation for the strategic use of spittle.
....I may just sell my Gibson for airfare to Austin at this rate if you keep it up...
Austin is well known for their street musicians. I suggest you sell something else (like your copy of "How to do a backstroke turn") and keep the guitar to panhandle for all the bets you are on target to lose.
