GK:....our show brought to you by the American Duct Tape Council. Gentlemen, if you took the time to fix everything that breaks around your place, maintenance would become your life work, and when you died, your friends would stand up at the funeral and eulogize you for your neatness but is this what you want? No, it's not. You want to be remembered for your wit, your extravagance, your bravery, and your allure, not for leaving behind three hundred coffee cans full of nuts and bolts, carefully sorted and labelled. If it's broke, don't fix it, put on some Duct Tape: in the long run, all solutions are temporary anyway.
