• And now a Public Service Announcement from the Jimbo Advisory Board

     Little Jimmy was skipping merrily to his car one morning
  in order to arrive to another fresh day of school. He opened his door,
  put away his backpack, got in his seat, and shut the door. He noticed
  immediately something was wrong. He opened the door to see what the
  problem was and heard a smash.
     What happened? To find out, we must look back into Jimmy's past...
     Not long ago, Jimmy's side mirror was in bad shape. It was
  about ready to fall off because the glue that held it on was about 12
  years old. Before it fell off, he removed it carefully and re-affixed
  it with duct tape. This worked just fine and dandy. He had to
  periodically replace the duct tape due to normal road wear-and-tear,
  but Jimmy was fine with it.
     Soon, however, Jimmy's father found out about this whole
  mess and decided a more permanent cure was in order. He decided that
  Super Glue would have a more permanent hold on the mirror. It was glued
  and all seemed to be going well. That is, until that fateful day
  approximately two weeks later.
     Jimmy looked down on the asphalt and saw his fallen mirror
  in pieces. He now had to drive to school and back with no side mirror.
     The moral: Do not try to fix your car with Super Glue. Use the vastly superior duct tape instead.

  This has been a Public Service Announcement from the Jimbo Advisory Board.
