    Embarrassing Situation at the Post Office

    After finding out the hard way that my Garrett Pro-Pointer was USELESS in and around salt water, I decided to get a Vibra-Quatic 2 PI pinpointer from Kellyco. I had been watching some YouTube vids on minimizing damage to the ground so I ordered a probe at the same time.

    Two weeks later I went to the Post Office on base and presented the slip to the mail clerk for my package. He came back a few minutes later and was looking at me really, really strange and said very sarcastically, "Here's your package big boy." I wondered what the heck was wrong with him.....

    I got to my Jeep and looked at the packing list on the customs form. Under contents it said, "Vibra-Quatic 2" and "Longer Stronger Probe".
    Everything suddenly became clear.

    That deserves a rude call to Vibraprobe telling them the last probe you got in the mail came in a plain brown wrapper. Don't worry, your secret is safe with us I'm assuming you are going to post your evaluation of the probe?

    The operation of the Vibraprobe 2 is MUCH more discrete than the labeling from Kellyco! LOL!

    Now, that's funny. I don't care who you are.
    I've traveled a long way, and many of the roads weren't paved.
