    “Books on tape” are audio books. You don’t read them. You listen to them.

    You’d be AMAZINGLY surprised how “useful” duct tape can be when your electric wheelchair’s wires NEED to be “covered up” or the chair won’t move and s*** like that, eh? Dan aka the worst motherf***er on the planet, and that INCLUDES Hitler, but not his COOL nephew or his children, who, as children, decided to remain celibate, so as to KILL the Hitler name!!!!

    I think I have a book on tape. It discusses the biasing parameters of Maxell vs. 3M.

    Actual duct tape is too expensive, I prefer duck myself.

    One of my boss’ boss pals said that once he listened to a Relaxation tape while driving. But he realized in time it was a bad idea and reverted back to Penthouse on tape.

    Duck Tape is the product name. the metalicized gooey tape hvac&r techs use is way to pricey for Joe diy, and using Duck Tape, well, it falls off after a few months.

    Back in the 70s, I was into Disco Duck tape. More recently, I was so into tape that it was taking over my life, but now I’m tapering off. Excuse me, it’s time to feed my pet tapir.
