Candice Marie:
Keith?

Keith:
Mmm.

Candice Marie:
You know you always tell me to chew everything 72 times?

Keith:
Mmm.

Candice Marie:
Well I don't think that can be right, because, um for instance you're chewing nuts now, and they have to be chewed 72 times because they're very hard. But earlier on I was eating mushroom, and I only got to 31 and it slipped down my throat quite naturally. So it doesn't always have to be 72 times does it?

Keith:
[long pause while chewing] I think the important thing is to uh, use your discretion.
