[00:00.00]One evening a sea breeze
[00:02.29]was causing a window
[00:03.50]on a campus dormitory
[00:04.70]to crash repeatedly as the
[00:06.88]clasp on it had been broken.
[00:09.84]The Duct tape put a swift
[00:12.02]end to the nuisance
[00:13.56]of the constant banging.
[00:15.20]Although it was obvious
[00:17.61]it was not a permanent
[00:18.92]solution of the problem, 
[00:20.45]nevertheless, the temporary use
[00:22.97]of the duct tape was
[00:24.67]appreciated until the window
[00:26.52]could be replaced or someone
[00:27.95]could install a better latch1.
[00:29.70]You can even accomplish repairs
[00:33.75]on vehicles, which sometimes
[00:36.48]means the difference
[00:37.68]between being stopped in traffic
[00:39.44]or being able
[00:40.64]to continue your journey.
[00:42.06]Many motorists have had to
[00:44.80]resort to the use
[00:45.89]of the duct tape
[00:47.09]in an emergency situation.
[00:48.30]Drivers often keep a roll
[00:51.36]of duct tape in the trunk
[00:53.11]of their car for that reason.
[00:54.97]It is a tremendous relief
[00:57.27]when you are able to
[00:58.69]wrap a piece of duct tape
[01:00.33]around a leaking hose that
[01:01.87]you discover at a time
[01:03.28]when it is not convenient
[01:04.82]to replace it. Thanks to
[01:06.90]the duct tape, the driver
[01:09.31]can become  mobile again.
[01:10.73]The fear of being stranded2
[01:14.01]on a lonely stretch of 
[01:15.98]highway is lessened3 when
[01:17.29]you carry a duct tape.
[01:18.71]Other forms of transportation
[01:22.76]make good use of
[01:24.18]the tape as well.
[01:25.39]Usage for it can be found
[01:27.46]on boats, and also on airplanes.
[01:31.08]For instance, a skydiver
[01:33.59]once reported that jumping out
[01:35.67]of a small airplane
[01:36.87]did not scare her
[01:38.08]as much as riding
[01:39.50]in a small plane that appeared
[01:41.36]to have lots of duct tape.
[01:43.55]Sports and recreational activities make
[01:46.83]good use of this tape as well.
[01:48.80]If your audio cassette player
[01:51.21]will not stay closed,
[01:52.84]use a piece of duct tape
[01:54.70]to position the tape holder4.
[01:56.78]It might look odd but
[01:58.86]it will serve the purpose.
[02:00.50]If a hockey stick needs
[02:03.35]to be taped, use duct tape! 
[02:05.42]Athletes, professional and 
[02:07.94]amateur alike, make good use of it.
[02:10.90]It can be used to
[02:13.53]compress a package, making
[02:15.05]more cargo5 fit in a  carrier.
[02:17.13]You can use it to
[02:19.65]repair a leaky toilet,
[02:21.29]or to fix a crack
[02:22.60]on a toilet seat.
[02:24.14]If you wrap duct tape
[02:26.00]around a newspaper, it can be used
[02:28.41]to make a dog's chew toy.
[02:31.03]If you get an opportunity
[02:33.33]to use this product,
[02:34.64]you will also discover
[02:36.06]many uses for it and
