My no nonsense, military husband had had enough. He quickly pulled over, stopped the car, turned around and said (loudly)
"If you puke in my car, I will come round there, get you out of the car and leave you on the side of the road and you can walk home. Do. you. understand. me?"

It was met with vigorous nodding.

(This was pre daycare/politically correct days)

According to my brother-in-law...he never did it again.

My brother did that once. He stuck his finger down his throat to get out of something. I can't remember what. My dad made him eat it. Honestly, I feel we baby kids too much now a days.
