I went to Second City this summer. I was rather in awe of what was said at times, especially when your MIL is with the group.

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
Awkward.

That wound up being the end of Rosanne Barr too. If potty mouth is all I needed to laugh I could go to the local middle school and listen to the students misuse the words they think they know the meaning of.

You were like the couple next to me and my friends when we saw Zumanity in Vegas (It is a Cirque Du Soleil about sex). One of them brought their parents. Half my enjoyment of the show was glancing over at their reactions.

Yeah. We were guests of my BIL and SIL. My DH brother turned 60 and SIL invited both my MIL and my SIL mother too. SIL mother is kinda fun, she was one of the real women in A League of Their Own, she is a spit fire. But my devout Catholic MIL. Oy. I was mortified. What my SIL was thinking I'm not sure.

Look up Brian Regan on YouTube. VERY funny comedian, and has never used foul language to get laughs. One of, if not my favorite comedian of all time.

I called the FL Tourism Bureau to complain on your behalf. They were deeply apologetic and promised generous compensation. From now on whenever you cross into Florida you can stop at the Welcome Center and get free orange or grapefruit juice!Good morning Sageteers. There's frost on our car this morning....

It's the least they can do.

The funny thing about the tape, is that the original industrial tape is known as Duct Tape, because it was originally designed to seal heat and ventilation ducts. Duck tape is a more commercial spinoff with colors and designs. I have no idea if it is as strong and durable as Duct Tape is because I have never use the Duck brand.

Here in Raleigh on the 11 o'clock news they had a story and reporter pointing to a puddle of frozen water (ice) on the side of the road and pointed it out as black ice. Southern Folks are so funny when it comes to cold weather.

At the risk of repeating myself (again plagiarized from todayifoundout.com):
____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Duct tape was originally invented by Johnson & Johnson’s Permacel division during WWII for the military. The military specifically needed a waterproof tape that could be used to keep moisture out of ammunition cases. This is why the originally Duct tape came only in army green.
As to why it was originally called “Duck” tape by the soldiers isn’t entirely known. It is commonly thought that because it was green and shed water, like a duck, the soldiers took to calling the tape “Duck” tape. An alternative theory is that they called it thus because it resembled strips of cotton duck. Which one is true or if it was a combination of the two, isn’t known, but in either case they called this new tape “Duck” tape.
Soldiers began noticing it wasn’t just good for waterproofing ammunition casings, but also worked great for repairing things. They began using it for repairing jeeps, guns, and aircraft. Due to its waterproof nature, strength, and built in adhesive, they even began using it as a temporary means to close up wounds in emergencies; this is fitting because the closest predecessor of duct tape was also a Johnson & Johnson product used as medical tape.
So how did “Duck” tape eventually come to be known as “Duct” tape and be sold primarily silver in color instead of army green? When the soldiers of WWII came home, they brought “Duck” tape with them. Shortly after their return, the housing market was booming. Some manufacture then got the bright idea to start selling it as a means to connect heating and air conditioning ducts; this idea caught on among home manufacturers and they started using it in many of the new homes being built. To allow for this usage, the tapes primary color was switched from green to silver, so that it would match the ducts. Soon the tape began being referred to as “Duct” tape instead of “Duck” tape.
Ironically, researchers at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Environmental Energy Division concluded that you should never use Duct tape to seal ducts. Their tests showed that under typical duct conditions, duct tape becomes brittle and will fail quickly. Duct tape also can catch on fire or just smolder and produce toxic smoke. Because of this, it’s usage on ducts has been prohibited by the state of California as well as in building codes in most of the U.S.

Ahh no. That isn't correct.
