If we're just doing every ridiculous story from Ancient Greece, then surely we should include Zeno of Elea by various tellings pretending he wanted to tell a secret to his captor and biting his ear off, then biting his own tongue off to spit it at the captor, and then being ground to death in a giant mortar and pestle.
Also I know it wouldn't work as well for the joke, but I still think it's kind of weird to exclude Socrates from the list when, by the most influential telling, his was maybe the most famous suicide in world history in general, in competition with Hitler.
How do you spit your own tongue out, isn't the tongue holding the muscles responsible for spitting?
I think if you sucked in your cheeks, then forcefully exhaled out a deep lungfull, you could impart momentum to your tongue. Probably also swing your head forward
