I was once on a flight that was sitting at the gate for over an hour fully loaded. There was a loose overhead compartment door. At long last, two highly trained airline mechanics came on board to make the repair. They duct taped it shut. Ready for takeoff!
In the Army we used to call it 100-mile-an-hour tape, but I think you’d need 700-mile-an-hour-tape for this job. Or wrap 100-mile-an-hour tape 7 times?

You can fix anything but stupid with duct tape. But duct tape does muffle stupid nicely.

When duct tape doesn’t work…USE MORE DUCT TAPE.

This looks like a ‘Final Destination’ [the movie] moment.

There’s a special tape for patching airplanes and helicopters. It’s nicknamed “200 mile per hour tape”. But that’s a tad extreme.

Like the Force, duct tape has a light side, a dark side and it binds the Universe together.

Well, I guess a jet engine is a duct of sorts.
