1. Seal ducting
"100% failure over ten years", says the egghead engineer with duck tape holding his glasses together.

7. Never use it as electrical tape
It conducts a little, 'specially if it gets wet - and once it gets a "carbon track"/burn mark, it'll short worse!

9. Won't seal an oil/fuel leak
Petroleum products turn the adhesive to slime.
Disposable diapers are the "McGyver" choice in this instance - a large Huggie will hold a quart of oil!

14. helping with dental work?
I suggested to my dentist recently that he could use duct tape for any problems he found in my mouth. I said it just to be a smart-ass.

Stopped him in his tracks. His assistants thought it was funny. The look on his face was priceless.
