Poll question: What would you do if somebody spit on you at a book signing?
Personally, under the circumstances, I would want hepatitis and rabies shots!

What about you?

:D

1. I'd be thrilled I had a published book to sign.

3. Good answer! You win a prize.
Unfortunately, we're still waiting for willing and able sponsors to donate.

4. If I were Jane Fonda, I would hope that others would --
-- further see the kind of vitriolic treatment she is receiving because she is politically aware, professionally successful, physically beautiful, spontaneous and intelligent, and willing to speak her mind.

There is no leave to spit on any citizen, famous or not. Most 6th graders know better. This adult in Kansas City should have known better, too.

5. Draw my Sig P239 and put two into the center of mass ...
But that's just because I'm intensely anti-tobacco.

6. Jane says she understands waht she did was very wrong.
There are a lot of Viet Vets who are still very pissed off at her, and she admitted that she understood why.

I don't think it's ever a good thing to spit on someone...for any reason, but I think she did the right thing by letting it go.

12. i spit on this guy who was masturbating on the train. i didn't plan to,
but it just came out. he was getting off on intimidating me and it was a gut reaction.
it felt really appropriate.

7. I'd give 'em a nice punch.
I'd say a number very naughty words as well.

11. I'd procesute for assault
and then sue him civilly.

And I did have a published book, but it was a textbook so I never did a book signing.
