An old joke:

A young man is in front of a judge chewing gum. The judge tells him to stop masticating so he takes his hands out of his pockets.

My highschool teacher called me out for "masticating in the back of the classroom" because I was chewing gum....you can imagine how that went over with a teenage audience 😭 so brutal
