My wife was in need of a band aid last night before bed. After she applied it, she was concerned that it might leak through on to the sheets. So, I suggested that she tape a gauze bandage over the top of it.

She got out the gauze bandage and the roll of tape only the discover that there was only about a two inch piece of tape left. Since we both knew that the piece of tape was not going to be enough to hold it in place, the only other option was duct tape.

The tape was crude but it did the job. The bandage stayed on until morning.
