Jeez! Don't tell my wife about this story.
She is the Duct Tape Queen. She had to learn the hard way that duct tape would not repair copper plumbing or a garden hose.
One day an older man is sitting on his front porch when a young boy walks by holding a roll of duct tape.
Whatchya got there boy?
Got some duck tape..gonna catch me some ducks!
The old guy chuckles and continues to sit on his porch. A few hours later, the boy walks back past his porch pulling a long strand of tape with about a half-dozen ducks stuck to it. Hmmm....
The next day, the old guy is sitting on the porch and along comes the boy with some rolled up chicken wire.
Whatchya got there boy? the man asks...
I got some chicken wire and I'm gonna catch me some chickens!
A while later, the boy comes by dragging the wire with a half-dozen chickens stuck in it.
The next morning, the boy walks by carrying a large handful of reeds.
Whatchya got there boy?? The old man asks...
"Pussy Willows!" the boy replies.
The old man exclaims hurriedly, Hold on boy, I'm gonna get my hat!!!
LOL! Me, too. I still don't know why it doesn't work on the garden hose, though. It seems as though it ought to.
