QotD: My Own Personal Spit-Take
What did you drink that made you do your last famous Hollywood "spit-take"?

You see, there's a problem with this question right off the bat, in that it's mixing a memory response with a drinking response.
Rarely the twain shall meet.
The last that I recall, which doesn't mean that it's actually my latest, was in Seattle in an establishment appropriately titled "Marcus' Martini Heaven" which is down the stairs under a respectable looking chain sandwich shop.
Seattle has a lot of those "down the stairs" establishments, particularly in the Pioneer Square neighborhood.
Seek them out sometime.
Especially Marcus' .
Never mind all the puns, as in taking the stairs DOWN to heaven, or to find heaven you must GO DOWN.
The 75 martinis are reward enough, just not all at once, please.
However, before all of that Seattle dot-com stock-option blur, there was high school.
In high school we would pride ourselves on setup jokes that needed only a one-liner reminders to set us all off laughing again.
Once setup, we would wait until someone in the group was taking a drink at lunch and fire off the one-line reminder or punch line to the joke, which, often enough, elicited a "spit-take".
Bonus points for milk and double bonus points for a nasal-expelled spit-take.
