While I am not an authorized spokesman for the B'Ville 200 MPH Club, I CAN shed
some light on your alledged quality control problems. The shirt tag clearly
states (or did until you obliterated it) THIS GARMET MUST BE REMOVED FROM BODY
BEFORE WASHING - DO NOT SPIN DRY WHILE WEARING. Obviously you have ignored the
warnings that the Club spent large sums for an attorney to craft. As such, the
warrenty is now void.
