A Cricket Spit Off The Old Block

There are things a father should pass down to his children, like good moral values, a love of learning, and how to spit a cricket properly. That's why it's heartening to learn that after Brian Johnsrud won the cricket spitting contest at the Central Wisconsin State Fair on Saturday by expelling a thawed cricket 22 feet, 8 inches, his son Jared won the 9-to-11 year-old division with a 10-foot, 5-inch cricket spit. Mom has to be proud.
