Tree planting tip #652

For those of you out there trying your "hand" at tree planting during these marvelous summer months, in order to make those all important buckeroos to pay back all those government induced loans and credit cards and lines of credit, do I have a tip for you.

Yes, tip #652 in the handbook for tree planting newcomers reads this:

"Should one not be wishing ones hands to be shredded into tiny bleeding shreds of skin/tissue, whilst in the arduous process of placing tree seedlings into the ground at faster-than-lightening speed, take one role of DUCT TAKE (or as some call it DUCK TAPE), wrap ones individual fingers and whole hands with said tape up to ones wrists."

That should do the trick. These are just little facts taken from various former "star" performers in the art of tree planting......back in the day.

Here are some famous thoughts on the infamous product:

"The epigram "duct tape is like The Force – it has a light side and a dark side, and it binds the Universe together" - Carl Zwanzig. Red Green of The Red Green Show refers to duct tape as "the handyman's secret weapon" and says that, "If you have duct tape and you need money, you're better off than if you have money and need duct tape.

and of course, Tim 'The Toolman' Taylor says "if you can't fix it, 'duck' it!".

Well, that's all I have to say about that.

Have a ducky night.
