My contribution to Daniel’s blog project [Daily Blog Tips].

I was a bit sceptic about sharing such top-secret information at first. But if that’s the only way to be a part of Tips & Tricks project, and considering that I am a generous person and believe in sharing (No, I’m not into swinging. But, thanks!), I’m going to share with you my three tips & tricks on “how to steal from Ferrari without getting caught!” Naaah, that was a joke. I’m going to write about “how to never run low on chewing gum!” Seriously!

I don’t smoke. Never have tried it. Never have been interested in it. Never will be. But I have been a chewing gum addict ever since I learned how to chew and not swallow! “Hi! I’m Jimbo and I’m an addict!” With every addiction come side effects. One of the most common side effects of chewing gum addiction is dealing with beggars! Every time you reach into your pocket for a Juicy Fruit, the whole room goes quiet. Next thing you know, you are out of chewing gum! Some of ‘em beggars ask for two sometimes: “Hey, can I have another one?” How rude is that? “No, get lost!”

But there is a solution to every problem. To avoid your annoying chewing gum begging friends, I would recommend the following three simple steps:

• Avoid attention: Avoid eye contact. Do it under the table. Get out of the room first and then reach into your pockets. Just avoid attention for half a minute and you’ll be fine.

• Lie: Lie like you’ve never lied before. Look them straight in the eye and say: “No, I haven’t got any! That was the last one!” Trust me, it works every time!

• Relax: Tone down your actions. Have some confidence and act as normal as possible. It’s not like you’re committing a cardinal sin. You just don’t feel like sharing, that’s all.

That’s about it, really. To be honest, it’s all just common sense and there is no mumbo jumbo magic involved. All you need to do is to follow the mentioned three simple steps and you will never run on low or no chewing gum reserves! Ever!
