Re: Leisurely Scribbles (part 5)
Lots of questions about the forum lately.
There has always been one question that I would love to know the answer to.
All you scribblers are old enough to remember Lonnie Donegan’s song “Does your chewing gum lose it’s flavour on the bedpost overnight” not ever being a gum chewer meself, I don’t know the answer, anyway chewing gum is a filthy habit, every packet should carry a government health warning because chewing gum weakens the roots of teeth and loosens them over time, it also leaves an addicted chewer with a big mouth, not to mention the under the table stickers of used or semi used gum, indeed I knew a chewer who used to stick his to the side of his pint glass when he was having a smoke, utterly disgusting habit.
Chewing gum is not much fun, said mom and I believed her
It can be tricky when your teeth get sticky and your face looks like a Beaver.
Now back to the question.
(1) If it does why does it?
(2) Should it be banned from all Hotel bedposts?
(3) Which chewing gum flavour lasts the longest?
