That's a good story (and not entirely uncommon). A gal friend of mine once took to the notion that it would be cool to chew some Copenhagen snuff (after consuming too much beer of course). As luck would have it she passed out on the couch and had tobacco juice running from her mouth. Lovely site.

Absolutely true story.

When I was in high school, a buddy of mine - we'll call him Dave - had a couple of fun cousins, Juan and Dario, who also went to school with us.

One day in the band hall, Dave bet 'em that neither would put a whole can of snuff in his mouth. Cousin Dario took the bet and the can, and within about 30 seconds had a mouthful. The can was empty, and we were about to pronounce him the winner, when in walked the band director.

Cousin Dario knew a bust when he saw one, so he did what any well-bred right-thinking 17-year-old Houston boy would do . . . he took one for the team and swallowed the whole damn can of dip.
