Re: Random thoughts.....

Watching the tennis just now, and this random thought came into
my mind.
Why do lady tennis players make so much noise when they are
at it ??

Re: Random thoughts.....

..."Duct" tape or "duck" tape?
In this case, either pronunciation would be correct. According to Johnson & Johnson’s website, the original green sticky cloth tape got its name during world war II when soldiers started calling it duck tape for the way liquids seem to roll off like water off a duck’s back.

Not long after the war, the company launched a metallic-silver version called duct tape after executives discovered it can also be used to seal heating ducts. Interestingly enough, however, scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory conducted field tests on heating ducts and determined that duct tape was insufficient for sealing leaks or cracks...."

Heh! So that's why my ladies have never made any noise - they weren't tennis players! I always knew there was a perfectly good explanation!

We used to use duct tape for sealing ducting on gas dryers and irons, it was found to dry out with the extreme heat so it’s now against gas regs to use it, it has to be silver foil tape now ,

Er, no. That was something they were actually doing at the time - not thinking about!

Re: Random thoughts.....

I'll never forget my first time.

I was just getting into it, and I was finding it very difficult.

"Are you a virgin?", I asked.

"NO", she replied, "I've still got my tights on you IDIOT"!
