When I was MUCH younger, three of us duct taped a dog's mouth shut that barked ALL NIGHT LONG every night. The owners either put themselves in a drug-induced sleep or didn't care, or both.

We did the deed and left a note taped to the dog-house - "Shut this dog up - NOW".

Starting the next night, the neighborhood slept better from then on.

My neighbor once used it to hold the muffler up. It worked for about a mile then melted it.

This must be true because it's on the internets:

http://www.ideafinder.com/history/inventions/...

"Adhesive tape (specifically masking tape) was invented in the 1920's by Richard Drew of Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing, Co.(3M). Duct tape (the WWII military version) was first created and manufactured in 1942 (approximate date) by the Johnson and Johnson Permacel Division. Its closest predecessor was medical tape.

"The original use was to keep moisture out of the ammunition cases. Because it was waterproof, people referred to the tape as "Duck Tape." Also, the tape was made using cotton duck - similar to what was used in their cloth medical tapes. Military personnel quickly discovered that the tape was very versatile and used it to fix their guns, jeeps, aircraft, etc. After the war, the tape was used in the booming housing industry to connect heating and air conditioning duct work together.

"Soon, the color was changed from Army green to silver to match the ductwork and people started to refer to duck tape as "Duct Tape." Things changed during the 1970s, when the partners at Manco, Inc. placed rolls of duct tape in shrink wrap, making it easier for retailers to stack the sticky rolls. Different grades and colors of duct tape weren´t far behind. Soon, duct tape became the most versatile tool in the household. "

Roll a piece around your finger backwards, snip it free and press it on the back of a picture frame, push it against the wall and keep that drifting picture straight. Crooked pictures drive me crazy.

This thread reminded me of the recliner on the Frasier show. It belonged to his tv dad, and it had lots of Duck tape repairs on it.

Believe it or not - I have offered to duct-tape my mouth, just to save my AZZZZZ. Hahahah

Actually one time I had a six inch piece (of tape) and I folded it down to about an inch. I used a marker to write on it,
"You don't need to say that out loud."

I don't think I put a period on it and so .... ahhh, you can see how well that's working for me.
