In college, everyone knew which professors spit the most when they lectured. The front rows of their classes were always empty after the first day of class, because the high achievers who sat there had been bathed with the lecturer’s saliva.

How long till this is included in a list of proofs of “White Guilt”? English is White originated as I think that the Robin Hood movie with the Black Saracen companion is a bit of false history. So now it will be English Speakers who are major vectors of disease contamination!

Some wit once remarked that the Germans invented their language just so they could spit at foreigners under the guise of polite conversation.
