I used to believe that if you swallowed chewing gum it got stuck in your stomach for years and years. But, being a not-too well off kid, i didn't want to waste a peice i was eating, so i stuck it behind my ear (an idea i got from the film "charlie and the chocolate factory"). of course, this stuck to my hair and i had to have it cut.
