In most lines of work a good sense of humor is a plus.

Sixty, seventy-odd years ago, they came here for the fox hunting. It was gorgeous country. The terrain and the culture was tailor-made for them. It was wide-open Piedmont with gently rolling ridges, valleys and hills. It was an easy day's journey by train or auto from the Sodoms and Gomorrahs where their riches were obtained. They were, of course, aping the English landed gentry that represented their image of leisured wealth. A fair number of them became so besotted by the life of country squiredom that they permanently relocated. As the area's reputation grew, it became a magnet for hunters.
Today, as the result of inexpensive energy, easy transportation, economic growth, political demagoguery, developers and urban sprawl, the countryside is a Potemkin-like façade of faux-farmers interspersed with the McMansions of new money and the aspirations of wannabe country squires. The true fox-hunters departed long ago for friendlier locales. The hangers-on struggle to retain the fading mirage.

Both, HP. Definitely both.
And, yeah, it's a laugh a minute.

I can't believe I actually own a roll of duct tape. Teal, with stars, not the old gray stuff, but it's still duct tape.

Have you any ducts to tape? Or tapes to duct?
I wonder: Has anyone marketed Fucked Tape?
(I'm sure Fuck Tape would be big in NonCon circles.)

You can buy specialist sex tape for bondage. It sticks to itself and to nothing else so won't damage skin or clothing, or remove hair when pulled off.

I've used tape that can be described as "fucked".
It particularly does not like getting wet, so is useless in the rain.

Now that is useful to know.

More like that one, but made of canvas with a rubber sole.
"Glossy" ones had a rubber button thing that went over the ankle bone.

Good Foot powder was the answer, I think.

Yes. I have had two such PMs. I reported each one. Now they're gone.

Speaking of sneakers (basketball boots to HP), and Converse in particular:
Look for the sneakers with the STAR inside!

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper proudly announced discovery of one of Captain John Franklin’s ships, either the Erebus or Terror...
...John Franklin was an example of an English naval officer looking for trips to build a reputation in peacetime, but with more ambition than most...He was incompetent, as most of his actions demonstrated and many died because of his decisions...
...So much of history is people dying because of hair-brained, ill planned, self-serving schemes by incompetent people. All 129 people, including Franklin, died as well as some searching for them. Despite the debacle, the government created an image of Franklin as a great hero. They did the opposite to John Rae, a man who discovered what happened, was a great leader, and contributed much to science and humanity...
