The Sit, Whittle, and Spit Club

From A treasury of American anecdotes; sly, salty, shaggy stories of heroes and hellions, beguilers and buffoons, spellbinders and scapegoats, gagsters and gossips, from the grassroots and sidewalks of America by Benjamin Albert Botkin.   

Perhaps, Dear Reader, you would like to join the Sit, Whittle, and Spit Club, official organization for all adult males who know and practice these three rules: 1. Don’t sit in the sun. 2. Don’t whittle toward yourself. 3. Don’t spit against the wind.
