Does The Spearmint Lose Its Flavor On ....


.... your shoe, airline seat, aisle floor, arm rest or toilet seat overflight? Remember that old song? According to the Moscow Times, the Russian airline Pobeda has had it with sticky chewing gum. It claims to be spending thousands of rubles to clean up squashed wads from the passenger sections of their airplanes.

Therefore, the subsidiary airline of Aeroflot has banned Spearmint and all other forms of gum from its flights. Russian airport security is already super tight when passengers go through the line. So, just imagine what the guards will do if you show up as a suspicious chewer.
More Scalpers On Broadway Than At Little Big Horn PDF Print E-mail


If your travels take you to New York, and you want to enjoy the traditional theater experience, be aware. Tickets to Bruce Springsteen concerts and other popular Broadway shows are beyond insane prices. According to BloombergMarkets, some scalpers sell them for as high as $10,000.

No one, except maybe a grossly-overpaid NFL kneeler, politician or phony pro boxer, can afford to pay that price. This expensive ticket offers about 60 minutes of a scruffy, aging millionaire on stage howling and strumming his guitar. Included at no extra cost are probably some sincere protest lyrics about how evil rich people exploit the downtrodden poor.

To avoid the grossly inflated scalper prices online, get your tickets as far in advance as possible from legitimate theater sources. They’ll still be high-priced compared to what you paid a dozen or so years ago, but unlike General Custer, you may avoid being scalped.
