Gum. It's great. It freshens your breath, keeps kids quiet, eases your hunger, keeps your mind off of things, entertains you. It's a wonderful invention you put in your mouth. But what do you do when it runs out of flavor? Probably throw it somewhere, or stick it to something right? Reminds me of this tree at Stone Mountain Park in Georgia near the water slides. Everyone stuck gum to this tree. We called it the gum tree. Well one man had a fantastic idea about what to do with all his left over gum pieces. Recycle them. Gross. He made them into art. Maurizio Savini, is an Italian artist that makes sculptures out of chewing gum. His pieces have sold for as much as $55,000.00. Impressive. Here's some of his work.
A CEO throwing a party takes his executives on a tour of his opulent mansion. In the back of the property, the CEO has the largest swimming pool any of them has ever seen.
The huge pool, however, is filled with hungry alligators.
The CEO says to his executives "I think an executive should be measured by courage. Courage is what made me CEO. So this is my challenge to each of you: if anyone has enough courage to dive into the pool, swim through those alligators, and make it to the other side, I will give that person anything they desire. My job, my money, my house, anything!"
Everyone laughs at the outrageous offer and proceeds to follow the CEO on the tour of the estate. Suddenly, they hear a loud splash. Everyone turns around and sees the CFO (Chief Financial Officer) in the pool, swimming for his life. He dodges the alligators left and right and makes it to the edge of the pool with seconds to spare. He pulls himself out just as a huge alligator snaps at his shoes.
The flabbergasted CEO approaches the CFO and says, "You are amazing. I've never seen anything like it in my life. You are brave beyond measure and anything I own is yours. Tell me what I can do for you.
The CFO, panting for breath, looks up and says, "You can tell me who the hell pushed me in the pool!"
