        @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.

              On the bright side, it's not the worst way to get acid thrown on your face.

                  Can we just agree there are no good ways to have acid thrown on your face?

                    Those sorts of extremist views, devoid of nuance, have no place in this discussion.

                        It’s out of tune with itself so it’s not just a recording artifact.

                              That's just damn cool. We tend to assume that, because we can't see things, they don't exist.
