Down The Middle Lies The Virtue ...
Aristotle believed that every ethical virtue is an intermediate condition between excess and deficiency.

If your assigner has no feeling one way or the other about chewing gum, then I guess you need to weigh the cost and benefit. The cost is the perception. If you can do it without looking like a gum chewing moron (I don't seem to be able to), then the cost is probably pretty low. What is the benefit? Some guys do it to keep their mouth from getting dry. I never noticed that it helped that much for me. I did it mostly as a way to feel more relaxed during my first season. It did work for that. So much so, in fact, that I pretty much looked like a gum chewing moron.

And Please, Mark Padgett, No Depends Jokes ...
Aristotle would have presented four choices for the statement: virtuous, continent, incontinent, or vicious.

Why would you say that? He was a genius who dominated western intellectual history for 1500 years.

Anyone who can continue being the best for 1500 years has my respect. Career longevity alone puts him in the H.O.F. for that feat. I'm still looking for the rule that says players can't chew gum.

As for me, I chew gum for the first 3 minutes of the game. Then I stick on on the bottom of the ball and tell a dribbler that if I see gum on his hand, I know that he carried the ball!! ![]() On a more serious note, I've tried chewing gum while working a game a time or two and it just gets in the way.
