Duct Tape Saves the Day!

They invited all those people with original and ingenius duct tape "SAVES THE DAY" stories competing for a grand prize of $5,000! Check out the winners at DuckTapeClub.com.

Watch the Duct Tape Guys on YouTube
In case you didn't visit our YouTube site, you're missing a lot of great Duct Tape Guy videos from our past television appearances, out-takes, goofball antics, etc.. We're working on getting a video of our entire half-hour stand-up show (Which should be posted in June by Father's Day.) And, if you have any video of the duct tape guys in action, please pass it by us first before you post it on YouTube - we want to keep the Duct Tape Guy (crud) quality to everything out there that represents us. Okay? Thanks.

I convinced my mother to file her income taxes in order to get
her economic stimulus check. She went to my sister's house to do it on her computer with Turbo Tax. The filing part was no trouble at all but you had to come up with a user name and password to sign in. They also asked you for a security question in case you forgot your password. My sister picked "What is the name of your first pet?" and put in "Spunky". My mother, who was not familiar with computers, then said that her first pet was "Mother Cat" and she should really put that. She said, "What if they check? We better not mess around!".

Later I called my mother and asked her if it was worth the ten minutes it took to get the $300. She said, "Yeah, I guess so but I still don't know why the heck they need to know my cat's name!".

If you went by the kinds of things sold in stores in tourist towns you would think that people were sitting at home looking in their drawers saying, "You know, I think I need to go on vacation. I don't have enough T shirts with pictures of cartoon moose on them."

I have a friend who was 37 years old and living in his parent's basement. He decided he had had enough and so he got married, bought a house and had kids. Now he is living in his wife's basement.

Finally, here is another helpful hint for living and this one could literally save your life. When your wife gets a new outfit and asks what you think of it, Never, no matter how much of a compliment you think it may be, tell her it looks slimming. Never!

Meet us at The Duct Tape Diner. We’ve had some great stories over the counter at the Duct Tape Diner recently. If you haven’t yet read the Diner contributions, stop by! This is where we invite our visitors to share their own duct tape stories. Just like these people did:

Swimming Pool Reinforcement How do you keep a sagging pool upright? A ring of those foam pipe insulation tubes wrapped in duct tape and taped to the top right of the pool. Sorry that we lost the submitter's name - but this is a great idea never the less. Remember if you send us photos, put your name on the back of them so we can credit them properly!

Alabama Silver Service? What do you give as a wedding shower gift if you REALLY care enough to give the very best? Just ask Rick and Kelly who concocted this gem. (With our apologies to folks from Alabama - could have just as well been Eau Claire, Wisconsin Silver Service, right Rick and Kelly?)

We love Ireland and the Irish. This collection of Irish jokes was sent to us by an Irish friend. enjoy!

Lost Luggage
An Irishman arrived at J.F.K.  Airport and wandered around the terminal with tears streaming down his cheeks.  An airline employee
 asked him if he was already homesick.
 "No," replied the Irishman "I've lost all me luggage!"
"How'd that happen?"
"The cork fell out!" said the Irishman.

The Miracle
An Irish priest is driving down to New York and gets stopped for speeding in Connecticut .
 The state trooper smells alcohol on the priest's breath and then notices an empty wine bottle on the floor of the car.  He says,
"Father, have you been drinking?"
 "Just water," says the priest.
 The trooper says, "Then why do I smell wine?"
The priest looks at the bottle and says, "Good Lord!  He's done it again!"

R.I.P.
Three Irishmen, Paddy, Sean and Seamus, were stumbling home from the pub late one night and found themselves on the road which led past the old graveyard..
"Come have a look over here," says Paddy, "It's Michael O'Grady's grave, God bless his soul.  He lived to the ripe old age of 87."
 "That's nothing," says Sean, "here's one named Patrick O'Toole, it says here that he was 95 when he died."!
 Just then, Seamus yells out, "Good God, here's a fella that got to be 145!"
 "What was his name?" asks Paddy. 
Seamus stumbles around a bit, awkwardly lights a match to see what else is written on the stone marker, and exclaims,
"Miles, from Dublin."

Final Request
Mary Clancy goes up to Father O'Grady after his Sunday morning service, and she's in tears.
He says, "So what's bothering you, Mary my dear?"
She says, "Oh, Father, I've got terrible news. My husband passed away last night."
The priest says, "Oh, Mary, that's terrible.  Tell me, did he have any last requests?"
She says, "That he did, Father..."
The priest says, "What did he want, Mary?"
 "He said, 'Please Mary, put down that damn gun.""
