Hoot, Man! Tha' culd pu' yer Haggis in th' fire for shurrre! If tha' came from Sco'lan', then I'm Bonnie Prince Charlie!!!!!!!

I got one too, and I know it was a scam because the only people that ever wanted lessons from me was the U.S. Navy. When I went salt-water angling, they discovered that my casting interfered with thier SONAR. They wanted to learn the technique to use as a jamming system.

They speculated that my casting could be a contributary cause of the numerously reported local whale beachings, since the poor things were discovered to be more or less deaf! When towed back out to sea, it took them several days to regain normal hearing!

Semper Fi!
