Another Childhood Memory

 This is a photograph I took on Navy Pier in Chicago of their big wheel. I just loved big wheels as a kid, well at least when I got over the whole scared of heights issue. I was pretty bad on one big wheel on Clacton Pier, along with one of my childhood friends. We got stuck at the top while they loaded and unloaded some people at the bottom. Well us being bored 14 year olds we decided it would be smart to spit off the top and see what happened. I know what you are thinking "That's so disgusting" and yes looking back it was, but hey, I was 14. So there we were spitting off the top of a big wheel, half way along a pier that extends out into the North Sea. So every time we did our spit just caught the wind and headed out to sea, well except for one time, the last time. This one last time I gathered up the saliva in my mouth and launched it. The wind caught it and it was heading to sea, then the wind stopped and it started heading straight down. Straight down at the gentleman sitting on a bench. So imagine the horror as I watched my spit not only hit him, but hit him right in the eye. I was mortified, my friend burst out laughing and the other man on the bench pointed up towards the sky or was it us. We were never caught, but I still remember how bad I felt for doing that!
