"Where are your weapons?"

IMG_7225 (by alhiggy08)

If any of you have been to Orlando, you would have seen the many hot air balloons out in front of gas stations and businesses that say "We Buy Used Tickets...Discount Disney Tickets Available." So, David and I decided to buy our tickets from one of these places. We go in, there are several other people in the store buying tickets, and we are waiting our turn. David takes a phone call, otherwise I would have been in mid purchase when I hear a booming voice behind me....I turn around and dressed out in full swat team gear are a handful of policeman. They immediately ask the guys selling the tickets behind the counter, "WHERE ARE YOUR WEAPONS????" I meanwhile, am still in shock wondering if I am going to prison...David is frozen as well. Why in the world would the ticket salesman have weapons?? Hmmm....what to do?? David said his first instinct was to grab my hand and run. To which I told him, "Well I am glad you didn't do that because the cops first instinct would have been to tackle us." So, we are standing there and they go behind the counter and start handcuffing the people. What in the crap is going on???? Is it illegal to buy used tickets? If so, why are there balloons up EVERYWHERE advertising it? It's not like the balloons say "FREE CRACK INSIDE" its Disney tickets for goodness sake!! So, after a few tense moments, David leans over to the police officer and says...."UUMMMM....so like, can we go??" He releases and we go off to the park and happily pay full price for our Disney tickets. The lesson to be learned...just pay full price, otherwise, you and some sketchy ticket salesmen could be spending a lot more time together!! :)
