Ah the joys of twisting. I'm sure that any twister that has done craft
fairs, carnivals, concerts or any event like this has similar stories.

I think you handled the second guy very well. Let the "Park Police" take
care of it. While it might be more gratifying to beat him to submission with
your pump, this can lead to several problems: Damage to your pump (because
of his hard head), lost time from your potential customers, and a lack of
desire to get a balloon from a twister covered in blood (really wrecks the
mood)

I'm sure most of us have run into another twister at an event. The "pros"
will give you encouragement and support (even help!). The "hacks" will
either interrupt or disrupt your act in some way. Just keep smiling and
always make extra special creations for the "Park Police".
