What Have YOU Used DUCT TAPE For????

Yes, I'm here to sing the praises of that silver, sticky wonderful stuff we so lovingly call DUCT TAPE.

Over the years I've used this stuff for some outrageous things & it never ceases to amaze me as to the uses for it.

-----WHAT HAVE YOU USED DUCT TAPE FOR???-------

Now if you are a skeptic or are just inexperienced as to the impact of this "silver saviour"
in the lives of so many people then I invite you to take a look at the testimony of a celebrity (of sorts) in the pic below & see if Duct Tape isn't worth its weight in gold. Or maybe that should be silver........................







-D'OH!!

--YES....I LOVE DUCT TAPE!!

---WHAT HAVE YOU USED IT FOR???

Thanks for asking.
If that had a chance of working Bill would have done it years ago.

When I was 19 I duct taped a car exhaust together to get my car home. Made it home and to the muffler shop the next day. (about 15 miles total. ) I love the stuff! Granted I dont do much with it these days, but it does come in handy for those quick fixit's!

My 4 year old stuck some coins in the cassette player of my truck.

Wrap the tape around a screwdriver with the sticky side out, hold the door open
with another screwdriver, and fish out the coins. Works great.

Used to use it all the time in the Air Force. When someone would be reassigned or retire, the custom was to duct tape them to a chair in the middle of a parking lot or lawn. Then all the folks the person was stationed with would hose them down or smash eggs on them or douse them with jello or whatever we had on hand, as long as it wasn't flammable. It was great fun (except for the person in the chair).

Duct Tape can be used as a handy roll of Condoms, custom wrapped to your size.

We used to bubble wrap the new guys and then secure the bubble wrap with a LOT of duct tape. Once they couldn't get out...we would push them over and kick em around the shop. Man...the memories...lots of fun.

Let's see..........used it to hold the fender on the race car after a "racing incident".........used on a fella's mouth at work when he continually used the "f" word.......great for hemming jeans that are too long (so, I'm short...what 's a girl to do)... we owed someone $100 and we filled a coffee can with $100 worth of pennies, then duct taped the whole thing until it looked like a big silver ufo.
