gum under the table

I've never had the twisted urge to stick my slimy piece of gum underneath the table until now. I ponder this unusual propensity, laboriously chewing on what will soon be found by someone else's fingertips in disgust.

I sure hope all of the past chewed pieces of gum that I have come across in my day have been the recipients of a similar gravity and have not been the object of some nonchalant and hurriedly placed piece of flavored rubber.

A strategically placed piece of gum surely deserves more consideration than that.
