It's never been a problem to me, largely thanks to my survival training in the Boy Scouts years ago... Motto 'Be Prepared'...
That why I always have a bag of gob-stoppers in me pocket.... Haven't been gobbed on yet, so it's good advice, dib dib dob.
(come to think of it, I've never been booted in the ging gang goollies either, and my woggle is still in good nick! )
