I know serial killers always whistle...but what about humming?

Does any particular segment of society have dibs on humming?  If not, I'll step up and take it!  This little "problem", I mean endearing personality trait, only started a couple of years ago.  I thought I was developing Tourette's or something because I felt this humming I was doing was totally involuntary and, hence, neurologic.  Probably not so.....I just do it to entertain myself and consequently drive others crazy! It starts innocently enough....say I'm working in the store on a wedding display.  Without knowing it I'm humming "Wedding Bell Blues" by the Fifth Dimension...you know,...."please marry me Bill, I've got the wedding bell blues......." harmless enough....but given enough time I'm down in the gutter with endless repetitions of ..."here comes the bride, big fat and wide". Repeat ad infinitum. 

Do others hear me humming, I ask?  Am I forcing my way into their private space like the rude loud cell phone talker.... we can all hear you now!  If you hear me, give me the kind and gentle nudge, such as you would an elder afflicted with clacking their false teeth or jingling the loose change in their pocket...all while praying and thanking God that you're in your right faculties and will never ever get to that point in crazyland. 

I feel better already, having let that dirty laundry escape from the closet.  Not cured, of course, just feeling better about myself and my affliction.  Thanks for listening and/or turning a deaf ear if you catch me deep in the midst of a Barry White classic....stop me, please.
