Funny- when I worked on multi-million dollar helos in the military duct tape (or hundred mile an hour tape) was standard issue. These days working on consumers daily drivers it can't be found in the shop. Now that they have COLORED duct tape...hmmm- the possibilities! The best use of duct tape I ever saw was a Hoover vacuum cleaner motor with polarity reversed duct taped to the top of a quadrajet carb on an older Buick Riviera. A poor-mans supercharger!

She also said "like" one too many times. I pulled this from a truck website because it fits... Erik's Three Steps to Choosing a Wife Guys ... for those that are not married. When out looking for the special woman in your life, ask at least this one question of your prospect. Setup prior to arriving at her place Place the following on your passenger side seat of the Bronco 1. Crescent wrench 2. 3/8 drive ratchet 3. Box end wrench Pop the question Now you're ready. When you open the bronco door for her (guys, always open the door for her, not sexist, it's just the right thing to do) say, "ohh ya, umm would you please hand me the flare nut wrench?" Analysis her response If she replies with 1. A dirty look, -- find a new prospect 2. Hands you the ratchet, -- she's at least trying, and this is good 3. Replies, sorry I don't see a Line wrench, ya want the adjustable instead?, -- This my Bronco friends is a keeper! Why this dissertation on "Erik's Three Steps to Choosing a Wife" you may ask??? Cuz my friends, the new tool box in my shop was Kayes idea, and the one she picked for me, is better than the one I would have picked for myself......

I've noticed we learn things my dad learned at his age a good year or too before we learn it, i.e. we learn x in fifth grade, he learned x in 4th grade, it's really sad. I learn many things away from school and then they're taught to the whole class a little while later, or aren't really mentioned at all till a subject close to it comes up and I make a comment about it.

Reply adrianspeeder Member sinceMarch 2002 From: Harrisburg PA / Dover AFB DE 1,482 posts (off topic, but funny) ...Well I have gray...Why do you need it? Posted by adrianspeeder on Saturday, June 12, 2004 6:41 PM I was in the walmart parking lot with the diesel and my trailer of mowers and equipment, when a young woman came up to me and asked if i had black duct tape. I said no, I have gray (you keep duct tape in your trucks dont you?), why do you need it? "Gray wont work. There is a hole in the side of my tire, and I need something to stop the leak." Ummmm, what? Let me see. By the time we got back to her tracker, the rim was almost to the ground. Being the nice guy that i am, I said i would fix the situation with the spare tire, and not duct tape. Of course the spare was flat. Fortunitly it was not damaged, but just needed air. Glad i had the trailer, because i keep a tank of compressed air onboard. Fifteen minutes and a thankyou, she was on her way. It wasnt till i was rolling that i realized what that woman was origionally planning to do. Leave it to her to find something that duct tape cant fix. What do ya think, drivers getting stupider?
