Help! We are 8,000 miles from home and out of darts!

I am currently working at the US Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan and we would like to order 3 dozen of the Darto Patriot wooden darts.

VIP Darts Response:

I tell people that this game is hardly found 300 miles outside Phila. I would be interested then to get a photo of you guys shooting wood darts 8,000 miles away! I'll put it on the web site at:

Let me know either way and...

Keep Shooting!

Embassy Message:

I'm afraid I can't send a picture....this is a controlled facility and no cameras are allowed.
Thanks for your help! We look forward to playing darts again.

VIP Darts Response:

I understand about security! Could I use portions of the Email messages that leaves out specifics?

P.S. I mailed your darts to the APO address this past Tuesday so you will get them ASAP!

Embassy Message:

Thanks for sending the darts right out!

You can use any part of my email....no security issues.

FYI...the name of our "bar" is the "Tali-Bar" (play on words with Taliban).

George,

THANKS! We received the darts today. The tournament begins in about an hour.

Talk about fast service. Eight days from purchase to playing darts again in Afghanistan. We figured we had at least another week to wait.

Keep Shooting!
