Other Great Uses For Duct Tape Besides Restraining (An Apparently) Very
Inebriated Belligerant

10. Covering-up worn-thru ole van seat (tried & tested, not by Consumer
Reports)
9. One word: L-I-N-T (scotch tape ditto)
8. Picture hanging, until gravity gets the best of flimsy @#$%^&*()
duct tape
7. Out of that new-fangled first-aid tape? Well, ... & ouchhhhh.
6. Cheap, gray, $4 Walmart water hose spouts another @#$%^&*() leak?
Lota luck, fool. Go buy a better $6 hose at Big Lots anf be done with
it. And when that breaks, there's always a classy Dollar General
nearbye for the super $10 deluxe.
5. The 737 is having trouble up there (?) Well, Charlton Heston could
miraculously wrap the tail section with it, and so, ... pray.
4. I bet ya can't unwind enough from a roll of it w/o a snafu.
3. The usual non-Heloise's Daughter's solution: Spray with WD-40 & &/or
duct-tape it.
2. Damneit, it won't hold a leaking tire probably much more than a mile
or two, and I gotta get to Nome by next week.
1. wrap leaking duct

I once used it to temporarily seal a cracked cylinder block on a 4-litre
Jaguar XJ6. It lasted the 12 miles back to my house. After that, I have
much respect for duct tape, and never go anywhere without a roll.

Probably borrowed some from one of the dozen or so folks nearby with
some in their carry-on.

Watch out. The TSA might use this as an excuse to declare duct tape as
a dangerous weapon and start confiscatng it from the passengers.

I seem to remember that they had previously confiscated duct tape...or was
it large cable ties?
