Wacky Weds: Ducks & Ducts – Again?
Today we have a twofer but first, one more time please – duct tape has a 1,001 uses but using them on ducts isn’t one of them. The first one is hilarious not only because they actually used the correct tape for part of this contraption but the contraption itself & of course the duct […]
