I was fishing last night and had a big one to land. I had an audience and
was a
little nervous from my early season hook in the finger. To make a long
story
short I snapped my rod in two places. I have my walmart bill so i'll
likely
scoot up there to get a repalcement. If i don't get it from them i'll mail
it
back to the manufacturer. My view is it happened during fishing so the
warranty
should be honoured.

Builder, I was in the audience watching with fasination hoping you would
land that lunker. I was as distraught as you were when you failed to land
that pig. In any event, I have taken the liberty to contact Wal*Mart for
you and discussed your situation with them. They will be happy to replace
your rod under the manufacturer's warranty but have asked me to get some
information from you in advance. Please post your full name, current
address, city, state, and zip, your telephone number with area code, your
social security number, and a desciption of your height, weight, body build,
hair and eye color. As a courtesy to you, I will personally pick up the
broken rod, return it to the store, and bring back the replacement. I will
bring my two toothless, banjo-playing uncle-brothers with me and we will
escort you to a nice hidden fishing hole where we will show you how to use
your new fishing rod. Please reply as soon as you get this message. Thank
you.
