          @Ivorythumper this is something, in all my years, that I never thought about.

          Thanks for fulfilling my life.

            It would be nice to imagine the vomit force being due to a rifling action of the neck, but alas, it's just boring ol' gravity.

              As someone who, presumably, has never had someone literally vomit into your (unmasked) face*, you have no standing to comment in this thread, @Horace.

              *1993, Sunday afternoon, ICU. Yeah, that was more than special.
