Gum, its not a toy.
Posted on March 8, 2010 with 2 comments
After these past few busy weeks I’ve suddenly found myself bored. Sitting at home, alone. The Hustle and bustle of the millions of Olympic Visitors are gone. The streets feel empty. In fact I feel empty, well not completely empty. I just swallowed my gum.
NO! It does not take seven years for that gum to pass through your system! If you swallowed a penny what would happen to the penny? Bing, bang boom. Give it a day or two and it’s in your poop! Same deal with your gum. NO, you shouldn’t swallow it because it’s made of rubber and your body does not actually digest it.. it just passing through your system. Down your throat, in your tummy, through your intestines and out your rear! My advice. Put your gum in the garbage.
DON’T! Put your gum under the table. Don’t put your gum on the table! And please please please don’t put your gum on your plate or on the edge of your cup! What are you saving it for? There is a reason why gum comes in a package of 12 or more pieces. There is a reason why it’s 10cents a piece. The flavor is short lasting but the options are endless. Toss that old piece in a napkin or in the garbage. Its gross and nobody wants to look at it. After dinner, treat yourself and grab a fresh stick. You deserve it.
IT’S NOT A TOY! Keep it in your mouth. Why must people take there gum out and roll it along their fingers? Why must they blow bubbles and let it explode on their face? It makes me want to barf. But what really gets me is when the gum explodes on their face they have to take more gum and dab it on the old gum to get it all back together and off their face and back into their mouth. Haha really? This is probably coming from the same person who just went to the bathroom and rinsed their hands instead of washing them. Yummy, can I have a slice?
I guess I may just be a freak when it comes to gum? Or perhaps hygiene? Or maybe I've just been bored from this olympic hangover I've been experiencing this past week and have nothing better to speak about? I think possibly gum etiquette should be a new class taught at school along side with cell phone etiquette? Regardless, I feel much better now that this has been lifted off my chest. Believe it or not, I am not your mother so you do not have to listen to my words. But please, if you’re chewing gum around me can you just keep it in your mouth? And lastly, if you cant find a garbage can.. just swallow the damn thing!
