--- by the American Duct Tape Council. (DUCKS) And here for duct tape is Marlene Brower.
SS: Yeah. So. Duane and I, we went to see the Nutcracker, because his niece Maria is in it, she's the one who gets carsick a lot, so we go and here's all these little kids dancing around dressed like mice or reindeer or whatever, and suddenly I think to myself, how come those reindeer are growling? and then I notice Duane's head is on my shoulder and his mouth is open and my sleeve is all wet. So I'm about to poke him a good one, and the next thing I know everybody is standing up and clapping and my neck is all stiff because my chin was down on my chest for the past hour and a half. Unfortunately, Duane has got about eighteen more nieces. Next time, I think I'm going to take along some duck tape and tape my shoulders to the seat and use some for a chin strap. Thanks, Duct Tape.
GK: Thank you, Marlene Brower. Duct tape, it's what keeps America together.
