It Strikes Me Funny: Rescue mission - get out the duct tape
While brushing my teeth yesterday morning I heard a snap.
Not an encouraging sound for a person entering the near-middle stage of a long and productive middle age. (I hit a big number on my last birthday in September. I still haven’t accepted the calendar’s version of reality. Never will).
The snap wasn’t the sound of an expensive filling hitting the mirror. My toothbrush had broken.

Two thoughts entered my little round head:
They don’t make Oral-Bs like they used to. Good thing I have duct tape.
After a quick fix Oral-B hit the ice again and number 2 went back to sitting on the bench.

Have you used duct tape for a quick fix recently?
Let’s see the documentation.

Duct Tape: For ducts and blue boxes, not ducks and tailpipes
As a True Canadian, one who sings the national anthem at all sporting events (even curling) and plays hockey with a sweet mixture of grace and aggression, I always have 3M duct tape on hand for minor and major repairs.
This morning I used red duct tape to strengthen the battered corners of my blue box, minutes after a young man in coveralls winged it over his left shoulder and bounced it off a telephone pole before it landed on my lawn.
See how nicely it matches the porch broom. If there’s one thing I like - it’s colour co-ordination.
Those who have been going through life thinking the stickiest, most versatile tape in the world is called duck tape, please take note.

On the inside of the roll are the following words:
Duct Tape. Warning - Do not use on flues, chimneys, mufflers or tailpipes. Not to be confused with duck tape, an inferior product sold only in the seediest of stores.
