Well then, here's another use for "The Tape".
Duct tape for embalming!

I was listening to NPR's Car Talk program while reading the newsgroup
messages this morning. A caller had a ball joint break when he was
driving, and he didn't want to pay for a tow, so he put the pieces
back in position, wrapped it in duct tape (he had a roll in the trunk
because it was an old car and he'd need the duct tape for something,
sometime) and drove it home. He said he'd been driving it that way for
about three weeks.

That's an invitation to an early death.
Loss of a wheel, which this is very close to, has been shown to inevitably
result in complete loss of control of the vehicle and a serious accident.
