He died doing what he loved
A SWISS man died when he fell from a hotel balcony during a spitting match with a friend, a Swiss newspaper has reported.
The daily Blick said the 29-year-old man took a run-up from inside the room so he could spit further, but lost his balance and plummeted 6.4m to the street below.
He died in hospital.
The man had suggested the contest when he and two friends returned from a disco to their hotel in Cadempino in Switzerland’s Italian-speaking Ticino canton in the early hours.
One of the men went to sleep, but the two others decided to see who could spit furthest from the balcony of their room.
On the way down you know he was totally thinking, “Beat that distance, asshole!”

A class act all the way.

It’s especially good in that he didn’t die right away, and therefore he possibly had a chance to talk about his spit distance with his friend in the ambulance.
Too stupid to live too long.

A proper news article would have told us who won.

Do you think his buddy hawked a loogie off the balcony on to his twitching, broken body? I’d have found it impossible to resist.

That’s true, but journalists are scum. It seems improbable that any would cover this angle.
