Duct Tape and Time Change

A Sad Day for Duct Tape
Duct tape made the news this week… in a bad way. Seems a middle school teacher duct taped a 12 year old girl into her desk because the student kept falling out. I want to make snide comments, but alleged teacher abuse(?) seems too touchy a subject. Suffice it to say, duct tape is not for amateur users. It must be used responsibly by people who understand that its great power is to be used for good and not evil.

PSA
This week’s public service announcement is brought to you by the fine folks at the Council for Duct Tape Abuse Prevention, of which I am a charter (and sole) member.

PSA: Just when you had gotten used to the last time change, the powers that be(?) have decided to change it up again on us. That’s right, the time changes Saturday night. Get mad, threaten to write a letter to somebody, mourn that hour of sleep lost, and then go ahead and set your clocks. We’ll see you at church an hour earlier than last week…. or is it an hour later? My parents and I spent a good 20 minutes trying to figure out last week if the time change means we have to wake up earlier or later to be at the fishing hole by daylight now. I still don't know. You can say “spring forward” 1,826 times but that doesn't help me. Would to the Good Lord they just left time the way He made it.

    Who needs day care when there's duct tape? It's a whole lot cheaper.
