Ducking out for this one.

This is what I like to use, for sealing.

If you guys don't back off somebody's gonna hit the sealing.

david,
Of course it is, but the joke reads better if it is mis-spelled as "duck".

I saw this and thought, hoooo boy. Wait until Al gets ahold of this. You see, we've been down this road before.

I lived for a short time about a mile from Monterey Bay downtown. You could hear the seals barking all night long on from our little place.

If it sheds water like a duck and it's sticky on one side and it wobbles from side to side when you roll it on the ground, then it's duck tape.

This was down on Anno Nuevo, down the coast, about 10 years ago, the place is all sealed up, here sleeping between eating and mating, and we think we've got the world by the tail.

I was always told if if walks like a duck and it quacks like a duck, and it's tape, then it's duck tape.

And also; If it doesn't move and it's supposed to, WD40, and if it moves and it's not supposed to, duckt tape. If you spell it like that, you can't get it wrong either way, right Jethro?

That was the Wehrmacht version.

I didn't want to post this one first but now that you're acclimated to the concept here you go ;[]

Luckily I still have a stockpile from the Tom Ridge days.

Other Hall of Shamers

The guitar supplies you hadn't thought about, how to ducktape - a verb now - a chain to make a three pound guitar strap ;[]

I love the ground wire that is alligator-clipped onto an outlet!

Hell they come right out and beg within a 1/4 mile of the Santa Cruz Wharf.

If I might have a pedantic moment it’s duct tape.

I will take my pedantic moment and observe "Duck Tape" is a brand of duct tape.

Cue up discussion of "Xerox copy" or "Kleenex tissue" and how the brand name became a generic name for something.

We call it Jesus-tape . . .

That's funny, but I have no idea why

My wife rolls her eyes every time I say I'm going to "Xerox" something; I say it often just to remind her that she married a rube.

Who is Al?

Geez make one comment, duck out for a couple hours, and come back to ruffled feathers.

You snooze, you lose?

We have had this conversation before on LTG. My personal solution when speaking is to swallow the last consonant - "duc tape". If anyone expresses concern about whether I meant a generic or a brand name I suggest it might be their hearing.

Didn't this veer start with a comment about crackers...or is it quackers, now?

Suppose it is meant to fix anything - like Jesus.

Magnetophon was originally AEG model name - later became to mean tape recorder.
