Cheers, Doc
Today, I accidentally swallowed a piece of gum. My doctor says it'll pass in 7-10 years. FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Today, in an effort to avoid my school's strict no-gum policy as my teacher made a b-line to me, I swallowed it. By the time the teacher reached me, the gum was on my desk, as well as my breakfast, thanks to my overactive gag reflex. FML

Today, I was about to make out with my boyfriend, so I quickly swallowed my gum. Moments later, I started choking on the gum, and ended up spitting it out into his face. FML

Today, I was running on a soccer field and accidentally dropped my gum from my mouth. No one had noticed so I picked it up and started chewing again. It was a different flavor. FML

Today, I almost died. How? I nearly suffocated after passing out while chewing an entire pack of gum. I should really drink less. FML

Today, I accidentally punched myself in the mouth while eating a Go-Gurt. I was eating it because I'd just had my wisdom teeth removed. FML

What am I doing?
Today, my 2 year-old had a large booger blocking his nose so I pulled it out. I was on the phone and absentmindedly rolling it around between my thumb and pointer finger. I put it in my mouth and crushed it between my teeth for a solid minute before I remembered what it was. FML
Bad at life
Today, I pulled a muscle in my face. Chewing gum. For the second time. FML

Today, I swallowed and nearly choked to death on the ring my boyfriend hid in my wine glass. It's still in me somewhere, and my doctor basically told me that I'll have to "keep an eye on things" if I want to find it. FML

Today, I was singing while lying upside down chewing gum. My dad was trying to focus on the current football game and hushed me. I yelled, "No!" resulting in my gum becoming lodged in my windpipe. I shut up after all. FML

Today, I took a cough drop to soothe my sore throat, only to choke, gag, and spend the next ten minutes at the point of vomiting because the bitter lozenge got stuck in my windpipe. FML

Get a new doctor.

For the love of god, please get a new doctor! That is NOT true at all! Your body won’t be able to digest the gum, but it most certainly will not stay in your body for 7-10 years. You’ll pass it soon, just like corn.

Don't believe what that idiot tells you. While you're here, though, how would you like to purchase an acre of the Moon? I'll even give you a 10% discount because I like ya.

You're not going to live that long. A gum tree is going to start growing from inside your stomach and will kill you pretty soon. You gotta keep up with medical science.

First off, you went to a doctor because you swallowed gum? People have done that for years. Second, I think your doctor's knowledge is severely outdated if he thinks gum will take that long to evacuate your bowels.
