Just to add to all y’all’s amusement, The Duct Tape Conundrum.
Just to add to all y’all’s amusement, The Duct Tape Conundrum.
In the midst of The Case of the Sweating Pipes, my mom randomly asked me, “What is that silver electrical tape?”
“Silver electrical tape? We have electrical tape but it’s black. Why?”
“No, no. The silver tape.”
I ask for a few more clues and realize, “Uh, do you mean duct tape?”
“No, no, the electrical tape. On the mailbox.”
“That’s duct tape.”
“Oh. Well, do we have any?”
“Yes, there should be some up here in the utility drawer.”
“I didn’t see any.”
“Ok, I’ll look.” Proceed to take duct tape out and give it to my mom.
It turns out the high winds ripped the tape off the top of the mailbox where my father had used it as a cheap waterproof outer cover on the top of the mailbox. It also sort of reinforced it.
So my mom noticed and no big that she didn’t know what it was called but she then proceeds to explain that rather than fixing it now we should wait until my brother is here later because he can fix it. Because apparently neither she nor I can lay out 3-4 completely straight approx 10-12 inch strips of duct tape. I mean, they have to overlap and everything.
Apparently, penises are multi tools with built in levels and straight edges. Clearly, I am deficient in this regard. Now, if you want a built in French curve ...
