We must enact strict gum control laws!

All of my life I have been subjected to gum on the floor in movie theaters, gum stuck under my desk in school and gum-smacking by supermarket checkers.

Bears coach Mike Ditka has pushed me over the brink. By throwing his gum at a 49er fan he has gone too far!

While I believe in the basic rights of all Americans to chew gum, I also feel that these rights should be strictly regulated by Congress. However, if any legislation is introduced, I am sure that the NRA (National Rumination Association) will voice its protests.
