Bad News For The Betel Fan Club
Mumbai's top civic agency is invoking public shame to prevent its employees from spitting the distinctive dark-red betel juice in the halls and stairways at office buildings. Offenders will find their photographs, names and designationa posted on bulletin boards at the headquarters of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, the body responsible for sanitation standards and the upkeep of roads and buildings. One worker already has become "Spit Employee of Today" since the campaign started.
FOOTNOTE: Is Michael Keaton still on his exorcise bike? He and Tim Burton have a potential movie sequel here.

Hi Bart-Man,
I was actually going to use it as a footnote, then forgot.
You, sir, are my right-hand man and loyal lieutenant. Thank you for nudging me when I forget my lines.
Watch this space ...

PNG has this same problem. It is now illegal to spit at the market here which certainly has made visitng there less revolting!! After rain it looked like the chainsaw massacre had been filmed down there!!!
