I keep getting a phone call saying "this is the second warning, the factory warranty on your vehicle is about to expire!"


...didn't know that fort had a 24 year warranty!

...and how can it be the second warning if I get the same call twice a week?

why do you not take it to a range and test fire it? nothing is more fun and stress releaving than an hour or to at the range with a 12ga( well nothing you can do with your cloths on).

Ooo! Ooo! I know! I just found out why, watching the History Channel. They give the chips a lot of room so they don't get crushed and poof up the bag with nitrogen to keep 'em fresh!

Pretty much, i'd rather have a full bag of broken chips, than half a bag of nitrogen/chips

I used to get that call pretty regular. I found out the only way to get them to stop calling was to get just plain nasty with them. I'm talking major four letter word usage here

It's always a recording, other wise I would use my airhorns
"press 0 to reach an operator"
translation, "haha click this if you're retarded enough to think this a real message so we can hang up on you"

It's the Marketing department in action; the packaging is generally bright & cheery &
inviting and tells you you're getting a good deal for your money. What appears as a better
value: 1) A big, bright bag with tempting pictures, or 2) A tennis-ball can with 12 oz of
consumable food units inside of it?
