Poor Artie, oh the evils of chewing gum. Well the nuns always warned us. I am lol because it is funny but also it took me back to a time in my questionable youth when chewing was a pretty big deal.

Perhaps you were a champion gum-popper? Able to make those annoying snap, crackle, pops which perforated the nerves of teachers and other adults? And nuns! "Rulered knuckles" and such. I can't imagine the penalty for gum-popping!

It was probably suicide, have you seen Artie's new bride, a face like a bass, one eye made of glass, and her nose is as long as a slide
