Two RV Tools. . .all you need

You only need two tools 1) WD-40 and 2) Duct Tape:

If it doesn't move and should, use the WD-40;

if it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

Judy must have figured that out for Jim. He couldn't possibly come up with that all by himself!

Acxtually, Elkhartjim is correct. The original term is really DUCT TAPE, as used to seal air conditioning and heating ducts. DUCK tape is a word play on the original description...

"Bad emergency", shoot if I don't use some bailing wire on my customers vehicles, these old farmers don't think I'm doing them a good job.

It does appear that DUCK tape came before DUCT tape. Many references. This Wiki link 'splains and provides more validation of the origins... (Surprised me too!)

Duct tape - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

""duct tape was originally developed during World War II in 1942 as a water resistant sealing tape for ammunition cases. This is when it was first created, as Duck tape, due to the revolutionary waterproof features. It is also commonly referred to as 'duct tape', which is the 'nickname' as Duck Tape is now a copyrighted brand""

See...thats xactly what my buddy Don learned me bout duck tape. He's been working on me calling it "duct" for some time now. Don't tell Don, but "duck" does make more sense.
