I was told all the time as a kid that you mustn’t swallow chewing gum, because it just piles up in your guts and clogs up all the works and you will die. They lied to me — it just passes through the gut like anything else. So please stop sticking your unpleasant wads under desktops or spitting them out onto the sidewalk, OK?
Of course, this isn’t a problem for me because of my sole superpower.
