Is that with or against the wind? If you try it against the wind you are bound to get some on yourself. . (true both physically and metaphorically)

I could make one more attempt, maybe, pointing out that just because both the Moon and a golf ball are round, does not mean they behave the same way when you hit them with a golf club.
I agree that the behaviour would not be the same but the forces or actions and reactions involved would be equal and opposite in both cases.
I visualize Johannes refusing to spit in the ocean for fear of flooding the coasts.
On the contrary, I would advocate that everyone in the world spit into the ocean because it is my suspicion that over the eons of time that the Earth has existed some of the ocean water has evaporated into the atmosphere and while in the atmosphere the suns energy has broken some of the molecules into atoms and some of the atoms may have escaped into space, due again to the influence from the suns energy. So spitting into the ocean may restore some of the liquid that has been lost ;-)
Keep smiling
