I sat opposite a woman who spent much of the trip chewing gum while working away on her Thinkpad.   Apart from the rather sickly minty smell, I wondered if she had any idea just how gormless the aimless chewing made her look.   Reminded me of a watching sheep sitting in a field chewing the cud.   It's the same when watching football on the TV when they pan in on the managers bench; they're all sitting there chewing gum too; and I have to say that a grown man chewing away actually looks several times more stupid than women.  Maybe the Singaporeans have it right; as well as cleaner streets, they also don't sit around looking like farm animals.
