No gum for you!

Apparently if you want to have gum at the Orlando airport you best bring it yourself - just found out Saturday that no one is allowed to purchase gum from any vendor at the Orlando airport. Why you ask? Well i did too and the answer from the vendor was that the airport authorities in Orlando do not trust you to keep the chewed gum off of their carpet! So either they are being very proactive in protecting their industrial grade carpet that last year was walked upon by a reported 36.5 million passengers or they just don't trust you to keep your gum in your mouth.... I say lets strike a blow for the American dream of freedom by purposely chewing gum in the Orlando airport and sharing a stick with a complete stranger! (of course i don't advocate putting your gum on their carpet but i, unlike the Orlando airport authorities, trust you to dispose of your gum properly.)
