You need Bungee Cords, too...

Around here they specialize in the good old grey stuff... Most of the big chain stores carry that brand. I groaned when I first saw it.

Don't you mean "spokes-duck"?

Is there anything duck tape can't do?
Well, yea! You also need Bungee Cords. Duct tape is your adhesive, and bungee cords are your springs...

There is even an old Filk song to the tune of "The Old Grey Mare" that goes: "The world is held together with Duct Tape and Bungee Cords, Duct Tape and Bungee Cords, (etc...)"
