That is truly an excellent description! I like the way he did that.

We should invite him here and teach him a lesson about hoarding. Someone please send this guy a link to the "Save me from MYSELF!!" thread

I complimented him on his description style via email and he replied:

Hello and Thanks,
I was listening to the radio today and they had a clip on Brochures, They indicated that a question and answer format will retain about 50% more readers, Why? Because Humans are curious.
Feel free to use the format and thanks for the comment.

What's "duck" tape?

rickfan60 · Post by **rickfan60** » Tue Nov 08, 2005 12:01 pm

I did not catch that the first time.

Believe it or not, it was originaly called "duck tape" by the U.S. Army during WWII. Later, it was changed to "duct" in it's second life as a sealer for force-air HVAC systems.

He may drop by to say hello. He says he has another Rick to sell.

"Duck" is also one brand name of duct tape.
The ad says: " Get the duck to do it!"

'Duck' is a brand of toilet cleaner down here... there was one commercial of the duck in a car, driving around in the bowel. The announcer said the cleaner "helps get rid of nasty skid marks!" The bottle is even shaped like a duck!

Also.. I like that sellers style. So honest.

And that's become a VERY rare thing of late.

Quite true.

Good one, Ilan!

From the eBay ad:

... Comes with the illusive Chrome Bridge pickup cover still installed ...

I guess illusive must be a combination of elusive and illusory!

What, we're all suddenly english majors around here?

The older I get, the worse I spell. Even common words sometimes present a challenge. It does not help that english has such a hodge podge of spellings. Silent letters, near infinite variaions on vowel sounds. What a mess.
