Every time I face that halved slice of luscious tropical borne fruit I get a little twitchy. But the real twitch doesn't start until I actually take a bite of the meat of the fruit. Sometimes I get a sweet soft spot that tastes so damned good I can't believe that the next bite or carve with my lower canines and incisors could taste so vile and disgusting. When a region is encountered that just happens to be the on the ugly side of taste, my tongue and lower jaw go into some sort of miniature spasm, almost making the tongue a prime target for the latching power of both the upper and lower teeth. Of course, if it did happen to trap the tongue between the teeth my words would sound like pawpaw.
