Iâ€™m sitting next to a guy whoâ€™s doing a series of elaborate neck stretches, like weâ€™re about to engage in a vigorous rugby match. Heâ€™s neatly laid out four types of gum on his Formica desk: Juicy Fruit, Wrigley Spearmint, Big Red, and Eclipse. I hate this guy. I hope to God heâ€™s not a genius.
