For Immediate Release:
Jim and Tim, the Duct Tape Guys, call duct tape, "Homeland Security on a Roll". In fact, they submit that no home is truly secure without duct tape. In light of the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) recent advice for Americans to ready themselves for possible chemical and biological warfare strikes, The Duct Tape Guys have put together this helpful list: Listen to Tim on Allan Handelman Coast to Coast ON SECOND THOUGHT: "I think I know what this call to arming ourselves with duct tape really is - it's Bush's clever economic recovery program, one industry at a time. First, the duct tape and plastic sheeting industries. Followed by the painting contractor industry (repairing the ripped sheet rock from removing the duct tape and plastic sheeting). Then, trickling down to the Duct Tape Guys' book publishing industry (people will need to buy our books to learn what to do with all of the tape they were told to stockpile). And, finally to our educational institutions - as Jim and Tim have five college or college-bound students between their two families (Bush IS the "Education President")." "I found it amusing that a few days after the announcement from the government, the same people came out almost snickering saying, "Keep buying duct tape... don't use it yet, but keep buying it." (or words to that effect). I guess that they, too, find humor in duct tape. When I see a piece of duct tape holidng it together - it strikes me funny - it's obvious that it was a quick fix by someone who neither had the patience, nor the ability to fix it correctly. Come to think of it, that seems to be the America way lately. It could be, then, that duct tape should become the new symbol of America. If not, it could make a nice silvery, waterproof cap for our Bald Eagle." - Tim, the Duct Tape Guy (Image photo © Peter S.
