Duct
tape
Scotch
tape (if you have an outside cabin you
curtains never fit
completely
together
so the sun does come in very bright and early. Taping
the
curtains together gets you
some extra shuteye! It also works
great
for a quick hem job...see more tape tips below)
Using tape, you can survive almost any
emergency at sea:
1. Repairs the hem of your dress
2. Tape the curtains closed to keep out the sunlight
3. Make your own lint brush
4. Keeps extension cords out of the way
5. Emergency hinge repair for your camera
6. Keeps long shoelaces from tripping you on the treadmill
7. Make sticky notes out of the ship's stationery
8. Belly button lint remover
9. Tape bingo cards to the table in rough seas
10. Keeps your eyelids open to stay awake for the midnight buffet
11. Foils the pick-pockets at Martinique
12. After too many midnight buffets, make your own girdle
13. Use as a *mute function* for the noisy kid at your table
14. Tape yourself to the toilet during rough seas
15. Do-it-yourself bikini wax
16. Garters to keep your stockings up (inside joke)
17. Instant hand cuffs =;o
18. The rowdy kid in the cabin next door... tape him to the wall
19. Makes a great strapless bra, it lifts and separates
20. Done correctly, it can be used as a contraceptive device
Becca <-----didn't even mention taping the
door key to my forehead
cuz I can't
ever keep up with those darn things.
