not-so-related story, but very interesting...
HARD 2 HEAR, this is in response to your suggestion to tell Line 6 about the washing machine incident... GOOD IDEA, I must say. You should tell them!
I was speaking with my dad a few days ago, and he told me a story about a buddy of his in Vietnam - an infantryman, smoked about 2 packs a day, and had a really nice Zippo lighter that he carried around with him all of the time.
This friend of my dad's was shot in the chest in combat;
the crazy thing was that teh round that hit him pierced his Zippo lighter and embedded itself in the casing. He was spared death, and of COURSE when he returned to basecamp, he mailed the Zippo lighter to the Zippo Co., bullet embedded and all, telling them the story about how their product saved his life.
Zippo wrote back...
they also mailed him a case of Zippo lighters, about two hundred, to give to all of his combat buddies, as well as sending him back his original Zippo.
What an awesome story.
Cheers!
