Re: Some Funny Pics.

I am sure it's fine . . . it just looks a little disconcerting in both pics -- on the airplane wing and on the . . .ahem. . you know.. . .the madmoiselle.

No worries, GF. I get forwarded e-mails all the time with images like that; the airplane wing, that is and remarks about how some airline is duct taping their airplanes to fix them. Problem is, the people who start those e-mails have no clue.

Now, the duct tape bathing suit. Makes my eyes water to think about removing it.

Too actually add to Dave's response, high speed tape is only a temporary measure normally applied between heavier maintenance checks. The reason it's used is in the posted pic is because those steel strips on the flaps were probably disbonding. I fix these heaps of crap for a living

Now before you fall asleep............

Ow! Thanks Rich

Well I for one was one of those who had no clue about speed tape. I learned something today

This one is not so much funny but more of an illusion. Turn the picture upside right side up and the illusion is lost.

my First thought on seeing this picture: Ow! Atomic Wedgie!!!

Second Thought: "Oh. Sorry kid. Sure I'll help you down. I know it really hurts, but do you mind if I take a few pictures first? I'll go and get my camera. I'll be right back. . .I just live a few blocks from here."

Well, I did not really need that second image...

(Although of course I do not want to sound discriminative)

GARLIC WARNING!!

For years Doctors and scientists have told us that some foods are good for us only to be told later that they are bad for us, and again they tell us that some foods are bad for us, and all the time they've been good for us and there doesn't seem to be much proof either way to suggest what is good or bad...until now that is.
Garlic is definitely BAD for us "You Are What You Eat"

Warning: Mostly safe for work, but it cannot be "Unseen"
