Chewing up the Scenery

Back in college, I dated a girl who was involved in the theatrical arts.  One night after a performance, she was complaining to me about one of her co-stars chewing up the scenery.  I told her that while I could see how that may be a good source of fiber, I would think that it would cause rather major digestive issues.  She scowled at me and refused to talk to me for the rest of the night.  Women are strange.
