Yakkity Yak, Can't Take it Back.....

Don't ya just wish that you had a roll of duct tape with you at all times? This way, if you start talking too much, someone could just lean over to you and slap a big ole grey strip across your mouth? That action would certainly save a lot of time and embarrasment...Seems the more words that tumble out, the deeper the hole becomes until you find yourself so totally away from the original point.... and then you're stuck. Inside a hole. Only wishing you had a roll of duct tape. Many good uses for duct tape. That's for sure. And, the best one I can think of is to just rip off a strip and smack it right over your own mouth.
 
And isn't it funny that at the time - initially - you really think you're making a grand point. Something profound. Enlightening. Wisdom. Oh, for sure.... then, wham. What happened to all that wisdom and profoundness? It got lost inside the outer exteriors of all those verbs and adjectives that only puffed up the original thought.
 
Speaking of original thought - you know there is no such creature. There are only varieties of ways to present words. Perspectives of the same stuff, only presented in such a way that when you read it, it resonnates with you. Then you think, "wow. That blew me away".
 
So, back to duct tape. I'm thinking I could use at least 4 rolls of it, as I sit inside this hole wondering if I'm ever going to get out. Of course time will be the buffer. Time and Patience - those words we all despise. And through these two remarkable things, I'll get out. I'll let silence suffice as the "Universal" elevator to take me to the first floor.

Jane,

I wish I had some duct tape for the past month...but you know what....I learned I needed to keep my mouth shut and to mind my own business...oh well...I am on my way to the hardware store now for a case!

Thank you for the post!

Love,

Amy

Hey, Amy - maybe you can wrap golf guy in duct tape and tape him to a 9-iron? (of course the 9-iron would be nailed to a wall, with a dart board surrounding it) Oh my! Did I SAY that? How UNangelic...... but human...............

Hey not a bad idea..hmmmm...I better not go over to Golf Guy's house as he has said some pretty mean things to me!  Who should be the first to throw duct tape at one another?  LOL
