Coworker A: Gum? Coworker B: No thanks. Chewing gum is a disgusting habit. Coworker A: Excuse me? Coworker B: Chewing gum is a disgusting habit. Coworker A: But... But you smoke. How can you say chewing gum is a disgusting? Coworker B: When I have a cigarette it's for a couple of minutes away from everyone else. People who chew gum chew all day long. It's disgusting. Coworker A: Okay. Coworker B: Plus that crap rots your teeth. Coworker A: Actually depending on what kind you chew it's good for you teeth. Coworker B: Yeah, maybe for a couple of minutes then it just rots them.
There you have it people. Chewing gum is more disgusting than smoking.
In all honesty I can see why you would say it's disgusting if you're surrounded by the stereotype of a teenage, blond bimbo. But justifying it against smoking leaves me kind of baffled.
Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-dee-do I have another puzzle for you Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-da-dee If you are wise, you'll listen to me
Gum chewing's fine when it's once in a while It stops you from smoking and brightens your smile But it's repulsive, revolting, and wrong Chewing and chewing all day long
The way that a cow does
Oompa, Loompa, doom-pa-dee-da Given good manners, you will go far You will live in happiness too Like the Oompa Loompa doom-pa-dee-do.
Listen close,and listen hard, the tale of Violet Beauregarde. This dreadful girl she sees no wrong... Chewing, chewing, chewing, chewing, chewing, chewing all day long.
Chewing, chewing all day long Chewing, chewing all day long Chewing, chewing all day long
She goes on chewing till at last, her chewing muscles grow so fast, And for her face a giant chin, sticks out just like a violin...
Chewing, chewing all day long Chewing, chewing all day long Chewing, chewing all day long
For years and years she chew away, her jaws get stronger every day. And with one great tremendous chew... they bite poor girl's tongue in two. And that is why we try so hard, to save Miss Violet Beauregarde
Chewing, chewing all day long Chewing, chewing all day long Chewing, chewing, chewing, chewing, chewing, chewing all day long. Book version superior.
It's not the chewing itself that is bad, it's that many gum chewers have the disgusting audacity to put their gum on chairs, under desks, on the street, etc.
