The biker dude and Moosehead

Dearest Gus:
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this debate that has been raging for generations. As always, you presented your response as a true gentleman would.
Drawing from knowledge gained from another debate, the spitters and swallowers may comprise "opposite streams of influence" on the question presented. However, there may be others who may wish to enter the fray. For example, the followers of Emily Post might contend that the recipient should inconspicuously dribble the unwanted contents of one's mouth into a napkin.
(Oh boy. Of course, that brings another ripple into the stream of influence: Should one use a paper napkin readily available at the movie theater concession stand or should one use a cloth napkin for the occasion? I don't even want to go there because the far-left etiquette people and far-right etiquette people will pick up that bone of contention and the debate will surely go on for pages and pages. Please Setanta and OCCOM Bill, will you please kiss and make-up? or at least shake hands?)
From your description of Moosehead (and from the accompanying photo), I can understand why you honor him as an expert authority on this subject. Moosehead's consideration and concern for those around him is most admirable.
Accordingly, another thought provoking question crossed my mind. What would happen if Erik, the very dangerous looking biker with a short temper, tossed a huge friggin' jar of mayo in the porn theater and it shattered right next to Moosehead's shins and splattered creamy white-stuff all over him?
Do you think the aftermath of that event would be friggin' funny for Erik, the biker dude?
Again, I'm just curious. After all, I'm here to learn.
Respectfully yours,
Debra
Edit: I did not intend to imply that ALL the far-left etiquette people and ALL the far-right etiquette people will pick up that bone of contention--I only meant SOME or a FEW or maybe ONE or NONE of them would.
