Tell that to my wife. She flipped out when I said the same thing. It was ridiculous. Our daughter’s hair grew back and, technically, my makeshift baby Bjorne did work. I could absolutely use both my hands and still hold the baby.
In my much, much poorer days I have used duct tape to hem my pants, patch a hole in my jeans and shorten the sleeves of a Goodwill jacket. Poverty sucks and people who have lived it don’t really see the humor.
I did just duct tape a bag of frosted mini wheats that I opened this morning. Was trying to just take off the perforated strip at the top and somehow it ripped down half the side of the bag.
It’s bright orange duct tape but the bag is saved at least.

Those were the kind of boots Vimes always bought, and wore until the soles were so thin that he could tell where he was in Ankh-Morpork on a foggy night by the feel of the cobbles.

A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while the poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.

While this is funny I actually get it more from the poverty perspective. I used to put newspaper bags over my socks when it rained because we couldn’t really afford new shoes.
If you were going for being more stylish this didn’t work. I can speak from experience. I tried duct taping my hair to give off a silver fox look and my wife didn’t like it. So basically duct tape is useless
What did he step in?!?!?
This is probably just poverty.

Must be OCP brand.
can’t fix relationships
Not your bank account apparently.
I wish it could fix my broken soul
Except grip.
I have a broken heart. Fix that with duct tape, you sonofabeech! I said “GOOD DAY”!!!
It still don’t fix stupid
Can’t fix a broken helmet though.
Kill it with fire
Got a Duct Tape Gun, now I got you on the run

According to Ernest P. Worrell, hairspray can, too.
Come on, really…

I just though how duct tape can’t fix a relationship, but I guess you can duct tape your partner in your basement.
West Virginia chrome right there!!

Thanx r/Nasa
… and if it doesn’t, you must be using it wrong!
Uncle would say…”Duct tuape fixes ecerything untilmit doesnt”

I think it will make more sense to put it on the inside of the shoe
Duct tape is silver. Silence is golden.

wait a minute, if it can stop the tuk tuk sounds, it might not be the craziest idea. But i’m sure there’s more to it
If they don’t find you handsome, they’ll at least find you handy…
If you can’t duct it, fuck it
Thats what killers do to hide their foot prints
You definitely have no partner, no woman would let you leave the house like that
DOES THIS MEAN IT WILL FIX MY WILL TO LIVE?
Interestingly enough… it also fixes relationships.
Directions: Simply cut 6 inches of duck tape and place it firmly over the mouth of your significant other.
(Says in a fast paced commercial announcer voice…)
Please proceed with caution. Results may vary.
Alaska is not laughing.
Except ducts
Seriously, it dries out and falls off of heating ducts.
For now.
Can it fix my heart?
Too bad it can’t fix the economy so this dude can buy new shoes.
Except a De Santis campaign.
Put some quarters in there and BOOM – Tap Shoes!
Why is this funny?
Ever been kinda fucked in the shoe department with no money to replace them? Ever needed to walk a lot for your job?
This isn’t funny. It’s a guy doing what he’s gotta do to survive and it’s not fun.
