ok i know it’s really duct tape.
in fact, last nite, was the first time i have ever used that product for it’s intended purpose. I taped up some duct work. to be honest, it works much better mending snowboard bindings, attaching guitar straps to guitars and covering up ripps in mittens than on duct work.
go figure.

Man, and here I always thought it was duck tape. Now I feel very badly because of what I did to all of those ducks over the years

jefke: you forgot to mention fixing punching bags and taking hostages, two further examples of duct tape technology being better suited for application beyond its original purpose.

Hello all, please read my post attached to “Movin’ On Up.” Why? Because it’s about a funny little guy named Jefke.
Speaking of ducks, our little man cat, Tyler, has reverted to one of his old ways from Brooklyn. He opens our kitchen cabinets by getting up on his hind legs, grabbing the top of the cabinet door with his front paws, and carefully backing up to pull it open. Very amusing to watch. Smart little guy!!

Why hunt for mice when you can help yourself to anything you want in the kitchen?

“…ok i know it’s really duct tape…”
Actually you’re wrong there. Duck tape is the correct use. Duck tape was invented during WW2, as a means of sealing ammunition boxes and preventing them from becoming wet. It was designed purely to keep water out of ammunition boxes, and hence was given the name “duck tape”
It was originally army green. Then, after many soldiers and other people found uses for it around the home (particularly sealing air con ducts), it’s colour was changed to silver, and the name “duct tape” was incorrectly adopted.
“…Man, and here I always thought it was duck tape. Now I feel very badly because of what I did to all of those ducks over the years :(….”
Spot on!
