Duct Tape Guys burried in snow! NASA duct tape use in the news (again) NASA has a detailed set of written procedures for dealing with a suicidal or psychotic astronaut in space. The documents say the astronaut's crewmates should bind his wrists and ankles with duct tape, tie him down with a bungee cord and inject him with tranquilizers if necessary. - based on an Associated Press report - 2/23/07 (see our NASA page for this and other NASA uses of Duct Tape) This newsletter is sponsored in part by Duck brand Duct Tape - Home of The Original Duck Tape Club.
Dale's Discoveries I heard an ad for a certain mattress that said it was the only mattress recognized by NASA. So what does this mean? If I were to go to NASA and show them another type of mattress, would they not know what it was? I don't know about you, but that doesn't really instill a lot of confidence in me. These people are putting people into space, you would think they know what a mattress is! Word Play There is something unusual about these words.. See if you can figure it out. The answer is below...but don't peek until you have given it a good shot! Assess, Banana, Dresser, Grammar, Potato, Revive, Uneven, Voodoo OK, see if you can figure out what these words have in common........ Are you peeking or have you already given up? Answer: In all of the listed words, if you take the first letter, place it at the end of the word, and then spell the word backwards, it will be the same word. Did you figure it out? Cookin' with Duct Tape: Back in the kitchen after a little mid-winter break. This time we are offering another eat-until-you're-sick-good recipe from Tim's mom.

Leeza does duct tape A visit to Northwest Airline's World Club gave us a great duct tape sighting. Tim spotted a wad of duct taped phone books behind the rather tall reception desk. When he asked what that was, the hostess on duty said, "Oh, that's Leeza's. She's short and needs it to see the customers when she's standing behind the desk." Our next visit to the club gave us a personal introduction to the World Club Duct Tape Queen herself, Leeza. Here's Leeza with her phonebook stepstool and her locker key box - adorned and strengthened with crome Duck® brand duct tape. We think the World Clubs should enllist Leeza as their interior decorator! Heck, she'd save them big bucks over those trendy decorators that they've been using, and since Northwest is the preferred airlines of The Duct Tape Guys, we'd feel more at home in their clubs with duct tape decor!

Dog toy surgery Plastic chair protector We have these old white chairs. They have the little plastic protectors on the bottom, and one day I noticed that one of the plastic protectors were gone! I quickly ran to the duct tape, and then to the recycling to get a plastic water bottle cap and then duct taped the cap onto the end of the chair! Duct tape saved the day (and our floors)! - Brian R. Strap Stay I have come up with a solution that everywoman has encountered in her life one time or other. The problem: The Bra strap slipping down over the shoulder. The solution: Put the strap back in place where it should be. Then put a small strip of duct tape over the strap and attach to your shoulder. It will stay in place all day. P.S. It doesn't hurt your skin when you remove the duct tape. - Rosalee in Ohio |

Oh, never mind Murphy's Hat Murphy showed up at Mass one Sunday and the priest almost fell down when he saw him. Murphy had never been seen in church in his life. After Mass, the priest caught up with Murphy and said, "Murphy, I am so glad you decided to come to Mass, what made you come?" Murphy said, "I got to be honest with you Father, a while back, I misplaced me hat and I really, really love that hat. I know that McGlynn had a hat just like me hat, and I knew that McGlynn come to church every Sunday I also knew that McGlynn had to take off his hat during Mass and figured he would leave it in the back of church. So, I was going to leave after Communion and steal McGlynn's hat." The priest said, "Well, Murphy, I notice that you didn't steal McGlynn's hat. What changed your mind?" Murphy said, "Well, after I heard your sermon on the 10 Commandments, I decided that I didn't need to steal McGlynn's hat." The priest gave Murphy a big smile and said; "After I talked about 'Thou Shalt Not Steal' you decided you would rather do without your hat than Burn in Hell, right ?" Murphy shook his head and said, "No, Father, after you talked about 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery' I remembered where I left me hat."
