I'm a gum snapper from way back.
My auntie, Zona, taught me how when we were on a bus trip to or from North Carolina.
She's an amazing gum snapper and could maybe beat me in the Olympic finals.
I can't stop the snappin'. Once I get the gum, it's a rhythmic tribute to my minor case of OCD. I snap evenly right and left sides.
I was even a snapper back in high school. I remember American Lit with Gene "Garm" Garman, one of my all-time favorite classes.
Garm was at the board on one of the rare occassions when he turned his back on the class. I was happily copying the notes in my notebook and snap-snap-snappin' away. All the sudden, Garm roars, "HOGLUNDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Garbage!!!!!!!!!!!! Now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Crap. Had to spit out the gum. It was only one of the two times I was annoyed with Garm.
Know what else?
I can't stand listening to people snap their gum. I've made them spit it out at work.
What's good for the goose is not always good for the gander, I guess.
