So I’m wondering, why is it that all the good-tasting things stick in your teeth? Do we like the stuff that hangs around longest the best? I guess that’s true in other areas, but it doesn’t seem like it ought to be true of our digestive systems. The stuff that stays in your stomach for too long is what gives you indigestion, after all. It’s not even like it’s a pleasant sensation, having things glued to your molars. It’s faintly numbing, like your ears popping in tunnels, or trying to turn off an alarm clock with heavy, clumsy, trapped-nerve limbs.
