I, Hatchet Jack, being of sound mind and broke legs, do leaveth my Wrigleys to the next thing who finds it, Lord hope he be a white man. It is a good stick, and freshened the breath of the bear that kilt me. Anyway, I am dead. Yours Truly, Hatchet Jack.

Dead for Tax Reasons: nobody ever pays me in gum...

Back when I was a teenager, I used to get paid in bullets sometimes. Get a brick of .22 LR and some cash for stacking wood and cutting the lawn of a neighbor about 2 miles down the road.

/Two miles is practically next door.

They can have my gum when they pry it from my co......pry it.....pry it from.........Shait, does anyone have some solvent?

When outlaws have gum only gum will have outlaws.

We need unique serial numbers on each pack and a waiting period before you can chew.

Ammo is expensive these days. You were probably getting a good deal.

Although, .22s will only get you some dead rabbits or birds.

Now that's what I call a sticky situation....

Just as I expected....Gum use causes crime!!!

I say we declare a war on gum, for the children.

This issue is always a sticky one. I'll have the chew it over before I give an opinion.

These articles are doing a number on my state's street cred.

I think that people just need to be able to unload theirs, no questions asked, in a gum Dumpster.

RyanBerges 2009-11-09 01:07:18 PM  
that darned Prez Obamma is taking our gums away. probably needs it to chew so he can cut back on cigs. no need for him to be lighting up in OUR white house.

That's not a chewing-gum control law; This is a chewing-gum control law.

I knew a girl in high school that they called... oh wait, you said "gum" dumpster? My bad, carry on...

Gum control is using both jaws.

Oh the things you could do with $800 worth of chewing gum.

This was roughly 25 years ago. And it's not like it was Tenex.

But if we criminalize gum, then only the criminals will have gum!

Well, I came to kick ass and chew bubble gum, so...

I love how this article talks about black markets for gum, especially since I remember seeing 20 packs of gum for 2 bucks at CT's official underground market.

If you ever wanted to experience what a black market is like, go the New Haven "flea market" on E.T. Grasso Blvd. Saturday and Sunday are the busiest days usually. Just looking at it from the outside you think to yourself, "Yea, I can buy some stolen merchandise for almost nothing."

I make Gum Fetish Porn, so I'm getting a chew outta this...

Besides, doesn't the Second Amendment allow us to give gum to bears?
