GUM SOLUTION
An elderly man was taking his first flight on an airplane. He was much more relaxed than he had expected — but there was one problem. His ears would not stop popping. He mentioned this to the airline steward. The steward returned momentarily and explained that chewing gum would keep his ears from popping and handed the man some gum. At the end of the flight the man thanked the steward: “The gum worked fine; I did not notice any more pressure in my ears, but I have another problem now. I’m having a terrible time getting this gum out of my ears. Could you help me?”
