What is duct tape? Is it that stretchy tape that plumbers use? Or that coloured, sort of stretchy, tape that electricians use?

I think it's made from grey plastic, about 6 inches wide, and sometimes contains filaments of tough reinforcing material. When removed, it usually takes off some skin and hair.

When we were a startup company, we had a sales office in Rickmansworth, Herts. One of the salesladies was said to use duct tape in her favorite weekend hobby. This was told to me by a coworker who visited the sales office in 1992 and claims to have participated in the "fun and games". He was suffering from contact dermatitis so I guess he was telling the truth.

So this is why I always chuckle whenever someone mentions "duct tape".

Richard Dean Anderson comes to mind, in that most memorable of roles...

Macgyver!

I don't think I spelled that right. Hey, I prefer Stargate SG1 much more than Macgyver anyway.

My older sister is the one who had the crush on RDA back when we were young and tried to stalk him when he was in Calgary, not me. :)

But there's a man who could make good use of duct tape and any two or three other objects in order to foil the bad guys.
