duct tape can be used:

as a dog muzzle

to hold together a favorite stuffed animal (until sewing can be done)

to fix the flapping sole of beloved old tennis shoes

to repair a bookbag left in the barn that the horse chewed the straps off of

to fix a leaky seam in a tent

(can verify that all these uses are possible from experience :) )

This is my husbands rule on duct tape:

"If you can't fix it with a hammer, duct tape it"

therefore the possibilities are endless..

to attach nylon socks to the handle of rowing machine for a better grip

inside backs of running shoes so they don't rub on my heels

*contact cement will reattach those flapping soles, or new ones,
and you can remove the old ones with a heat lamp

I'm a little worried about the contraceptive and dog muzzle usages!

Down here we say:
If it doesn't move and should, use WD40;
If it moves and shouldn't, use duct tape!

The clevage thing was on Oprah Winfrey and appeared to work wonders!

Seals draughty windows like a charm!!

A bartender back home told me this story about a local.

He had some kind of surgery along his stomach and had staples instead of stitches to keep him together.

He was at the bar on a Friday night getting drunk and the staples starting coming apart. So the other people in the bar took duct tape and coctails napkins to keep him togther in one piece, so he could stay out.

I almost died laughing when I heard this story.

tacky but true - almost every one of the door shelves on our fridge have broken off. After trying everything in the world, I broke out the ole duct tape. Works like a charm. Not very nice looking but functional as all get out. By the way the fridge is a Whirlpool top o the line, what a piece of crap.
