Pre-Empting Future Metro Dumbness

You can't eat on the Washington Metro (the subway, for everyone else). They're pretty anal about it, and have this bad habit of cuffing & arresting transgressors, like 12-year-old girls, etc. Anyway, they just did it again, and there's a Dumb Quote from the article (which I won't link to, due to Dumb Online Newspaper Registration):

"Chewing is eating."
-- Lisa Farbstein, Metro spokeswoman
