Chewing Gum?

I have to admit, when people offer me chewing gum I take it just in case they're telling me, in a very subtle manner, that my breath stinks.

I mean, it's funny how someones breath can smell like a porta-loo but they themselves never smell it, especially as the source of the honking breath is directly beneath their nose.

I've never actually been accused of having foul breath, but one can never be too cautious.

Actually, I'd say it's less cautious, more paranoid.

Just one of my 'quirks'.
