#51 Those people who chew gum.

Chewing gum is against the rules in band. Why is it against the rules? Have you ever tried to extract a piece of gum from the depths of a bass flute? (I haven't. But I'm going to bet it's not enjoyable.)
And yet people do it.
And then when they get caught, they do one of two things: pretend to spit it out, or SWALLOW it. And that's not good for your digestion.
Here's my question: Why would anybody WANT to chew gum in band?
Why chew gum at all? I've chewed gum, and it's really not worth breaking the rules to do it.
Does your instrument taste that bad?
