A function I used to perform at a bronchiectasis support site was to run a contest every year called Top Lung. Members would submit their PFT results allowing them to compete. The member with the highest FEV1 would receive the coveted Silver Spittoon Award.
(no real award was given - it was more of an honorary bestowment)
My number usually landed me near the bottom of the totem pole.
I've averaged twenty-five percent the last few decades.
But don't tell my lungs. They prefer to be over-achievers.

Lol! Thank you for bringing chuckles to our day. Silver spittoon award is quite amusing.
