WB:  << spitten image ~ spittin' image ~ spit & image >>
​LH:  << In case you're interested... I know, you're probably not *that*
interested.  >>​

​WB: Ptooey! I'm such a shill. Anyway, to paraphrase Freud (or his
apocrypha), sometimes spittle is just spittle, like in the case of the
baseball player's son, who takes up tobacco chewin', jist like his dear ol'
Dad.
