today i was chewing a piece of gum when i shifted it from one side of my mouth to the other and got it caught in one of the stitches in the top of my mouth. after a brief moment of panic where i probably appeared to any onlookers to be swallowing my own tongue, i was able to free the gum from the stitches, thereby avoiding all of the potential removal procedures i'd momentarily envisioned.
