Who ever made that comment about the great unwashed masses must have gone to a clown convention. ( I'm only half serious, because most people have good hygiene, but it can be a problem, and bad hygiene is an insult to what we do.) I buy altoids in bulk, and have them stashed everywhere. I have a box of them in every show case and balloon bag I own. You owe it to the public to be presentable. As far as mouth inflation goes, In 21 years of earning a living doing this, I've never had anyone make any comment about it being unsanitary, although now that I think about it, I'm really surprised. Another thing that I dislike about using pumps, is the air is dryer, and the balloons pop more. I’ll continue to mouth inflate until I can't anymore. Peace, Joe
