Adhesive tape, for being a way to mend nearly anything (including earphones)

My own earphones have a break repaired as well, wrapped in duct-tape.

Duct-tape can fix anything ! (we call it Gaffa-tape)
They use it for last minute repairs at areoplains. . . .

Actually, it's a slightly different product that is used on aeroplanes. My husband is an aircraft mechanic and firmly corrected me last time I made that claim.
My dad and I used duct-tape to repair a fence once. It was supposed to be there to keep the dogs in the yard just long enough for us to go purchase a new board, and ended up lasting for two years, before the board was replaced in order to sell that house.

I was joking. . .
I too have a family member that is an air craft mechanic, he did tell me that they did not use ducked-tape, but he did not say that they used some other tape.

It's called, creatively, aircraft tape.
I assign the mathoms my husband brings home from work. Odd tools and switches and parts, the purpose of which is a mystery to me, and the guessing games he plays with me. The other day he got me good with this metal cylnder the size of a battery that clacked inside when you shook it. Turns out it's called a "G-switch".

I assign finding out that your lecture tomorrow is cancelled, meaning that you can go home nearly two hours earlier than expected!
Also the relief that comes when you discover that today is not the deadline for a piece of work you haven't even started yet.
