Wow!

I have 15 Proto masks, brand new, in the box and ready for sale. Only thing is, all 15 have defective lenses. I'm always amazed when things like this happen. My first year in the business I was having trouble with JT lenses cracking at the edges. Every now and then I will get a bad batch of paint - too brittle, poor fill, typical stuff.

What absolutely floors me, every single time, is when I call the distributor or manufacturer to point out the problem I get the same reply - "Wow. That's odd. No one else has called with that problem."

How can this be possible? When I was having a re-cocking problem with six, brand new Piranhas I was the only one. Another time it was Tippmanns. I had to call Viewloader recently. I was having trouble with a batch of loaders. The same part kept breaking in all of them. When the "improved" replacement part started breaking I called them again.

"Wow. That's odd. No one else has called with that problem."

I'm so special!
