Spit and Swallow

19 minutes 55 seconds, 2007.

This video came about as a result of a question I posed to myself.  I was thinking about the amount of spit people swallow everyday.  Would there be a difference in swallowing my own saliva if I spit it into a glass first and then swallowed it?  By leaving my body and then reentering, would my own or other people's perception alter the saliva somehow before I swallowed it?  Logically, it was the same saliva that I always swallow.  There should be no difference.  However, the act of collecting it  outside my body did somehow make it harder to swallow.
