I felt the need to show you all the greatness of one of my favorite things in the world: Duct Tape. It doesn't get the praise
that it most certainly deserves. But thanks to the 365 Day calendar by Jim and Tim, I have brought you some wonderful thoughts,
ideas, etc. of Duct Tape.

*A little duct tape between the floor and gas pedal, and you're stylin' down the road with cruise control.
*Prevent your
kids from seeing things you don't want them to see as they surf the Web: Duct tape over the screen.
*Duct tape television
and VCR remotes to the couch arm to prevent loss.
*Play dumb and get out of important responsibilities: a few duct tape
strips placed to hold the bottom half of your mouth open eventually gives you the look of a slack-jawed yokel.
*Prevent
your snowmobile helmet-visor from fogging up: a duct tape shield on your nose deflects moist exhalation away from your eyes.
*History Almost Forgot: in the spring of 1958, Lapland and Trinidad-Tobago fought a nine-day war over a misunderstanding
concerning a missing shipment of duct tape. With each nation unable to invade the other, their armies were unable to meet
for battle, so the war was called off.
*Joggers: keep headphones in place with duct tape. (Be careful to avoid taping
over your hair).
*If your fingers are too fat to hit the keys of a computer keyboard without hitting the surrounding keys,
make SlimFinger Extenders by duct taping pencils, eraser-side-out, onto your fingertips.
*Famous Duct Tape Quote: "Duct,
ergo sum." (I duct tape, therefore I am.)~Descartes
*Tight on space? Use duct tape to create a wall or ceiling TV
mount.
*Duct tape makes a nifty seal to keep your bags of chips snackin' fresh.
*Build-Your-Own Ultimate Tool Kit:
buy one of those fancy leather tool-holder belts. Hang a roll of duct tape on the tape holder chain and put a 2-ounce can
of WD-40 in the tape measure pocket. Fill the remaining pockets with cans of beer. (Bottles optional).
*Practical Joke:
after the birthday boy or girl's blindfold is in place, wrap the pinata with duct tape. They'll wack at the thing for hours.
*"Nervous legs" preventing you from sleeping at night? Duct tape tightly around each thigh: you'll cut off
the circulation so your legs will go numb and won't bother you anymore. (Of course, you may lose your legs if gangrene sets
in, but if that happens you won't have to worry about losing sleep ever again!)
