Holy crap, there's enough tape there to keep a Tempo running but none of it appears to be doing any good. Someone clearly failed Structural Duct Tape Applications 101.

I like the random Do Not Cross tape on there as well. Nice touch.

False. There isn't enough duct tape in the world to keep a Tempo running

I have seen a mini van with one of the big back windows full of duck tape at the last place i worked at and it was not pretty. People Just don't learn that duck tape is not ment to fix every thing that it sticks to.

Duct. It's actually duct tape. It amuses me that the item is so prevalent in out culture that it's original purpose is forgotten to the sands of time. It's like Kleenex. They weren't originally marketed to catch snot.

I was on a job and we were working on the HVAC ducting and I said to my partner "hand me the duct tape." He picked it up, paused, looked up at the duct and down at the tape and got a weird look like George Bush use to get during press conferences so I knew he was brainworking it, then he lit up and opened his mouth to ask the question. I confirmed his epiphany, "Yes, that's what it was for before we started using it to hold every damned broken thing together."

In the defense of every living person on the planet. One of the companies (it might have been 3M) uses a duck for the logo and calls it Duck Tape. Also, true Duct Tape won't work for most applications. You know, the silver kind? And true silver duct tape is the only kind you should use on HVAC, the gray duct tape that everyone uses to hold the wold together won't last long on an HVAC duct line.

Fun fact: 3M makes a red duct tape that the Navy uses in its nuclear department that is absurdly strong, and according to Deidra will suspend a 200 lbs man to many objects.

Clearly not a drifter. Drilled holes with zipties are stronger than duct tape...

Actually, you are confusing foil tape with duct tape. The commercial grade of gray duct tape is not the same as the stuff you buy in any hardware store, and the foil tape is usually used outdoors or when close to a condenser coil or heat exchanger of some type.

Yup, that sounds like me.
