And don't say people aren't that dumb. Lots of people are that dumb. And some are even dumber.

Use duct tape for its intended purposes: sticking ductwork together, wrapping packages, and adhering very active small children to walls when babysitting.

My parents just came back of a coach trip to Switzerland. Very nice. My Father was having a quiet swear about the fact that there is always one loud mouthed attention getter - either sex - with a penetrating voice on every trip they have been on. I think that he's starting to consider the possibilities that open up when you have 20' of 550 cord, a few cable tidies and 30' of duct tape handy..........
