A very stupid rule at that, I'd say chew gum over stinky breath

There are so many breath alternatives, if this occurred in the morning, they could've brushed their teeth. They could've used the gum before (or after) class, not in between. They could've gotten Tic-Tacs, breath freshening sprays, or, if worse comes to worst, some small hard candy.

Just world fallacy. Google it.

But did you guys know that chewing any type of mint gum while studying and then chewing the same kind later during a test helps with remembering what you studied before hand? It's because the human brain associates the things we learn with other senses to recall them easier later. This is why some high schools tried handing out hard candy mints during testing a couple years back. They couldn't hand out gum because of those who may have had braces which is common for high schoolers.

57, No one cares about your life

Where did he reference his own life in his comment?

it's not a stupid rule. people leave their gum on the floor, under the desk, etc. it ruins things people pay good money for.

Also, am I the only one hugely uncomfortable with the use of the non-word "b-line" as opposed to "beeline"?

Apparently, by biting off...or in this case, swallowing more than she could chew

Actually I know a lot of people that have that problem. Usually they don't have to do anything to throw up it just kinda happens. However for the people I know they actually have a hernia causing it

My good sir, she obviously gains nourishment through the process of photosynthesis. It's all the rage these days!

Or be a rebel and blatantly chew that gum :)

I've never had that turn out well, #5.

Or under your tongue o.o

Or spit it into your hand for a second

or be a rebel and spit it into your teacher's hand :)

Maybe it's like the same reaction some people get when swallowing pills? You'd think it should be easy because you swallow food bigger than that, but for some reason it's still difficult for some.
