Uses for plastic caulking tubes
I am doing a lot of caulking lately and it seems a shame to discard
the used plastic tubes. Any ideas as to how to reuse them? Thanks TMT |

Thanks TMT Stick some batteries in them and give them to your moms (both of them) as birthday presents. They will think you gave them new dildos. |

Most recycling programs would take the plastic. But you have to clean them first. The local landfill outright rejects them if they see them in a load of construction debris. If they see several, they will reject the entire load. Ron |

Our recycle program requires washing of items before setting them out. I do not recycle, but I do conserve and re-use. |

Give them a really good washout and reload them with peanut butter. This would save time washing the knife when preparing your lunch. |

You mean like: - won't take medical waste? - won't take toxic chemicals? - won't take radioactive materials? Don't you support businesses making their own decisions (the landfill is a business, too)? |

Each contestant puts a woodpecker in his tube and yells or blows on one end. The player whose woodpecker is first to emerge from the opposite end is the winner. Birds escaping through a pecked hole in the side are automatic disqualifiers. |

Thanks TMT Fill with explosives and a model rocket engine, fire at liberals. :-) Don't use shrapnel, we don't want to harm, just scare them to their senses. Oh no, . Here's something that explains a lot. I used to work with a man that was a liberal Democrat. He said he was a Republican when younger but then got smart. I also noted that he "got smart" and became a Democrat after some time doing drugs on a regular basis. Now it makes sense! I guess if the tubes were clean inside, you could cut off the closed end, stack them up and use them for holding short pieces of drill rod, long bolts, etc. RogerN |

Reasonable rendition of meaning but it wasn't a Churchill quote... :) Charles Krauthammer in an op-ed piece seems to have repopularized the misattribution some time ago quoting Churchill as saying, "If you're not a liberal when you're 20, you have no heart. If you're not a conservative when you're 40, you have no head." Churchill was a swashbuckling soldier at 20 and a Conservative member of Parliament at 25. A couple of years later he switched to the Liberal Party (which was not liberal in the modern sense) returning to the Conservatives and leading the opposition up to outbreak of WWII. The saying appears to have originated with French politician and historian Francois Guizot (1787-1874) as "Not to be a republican at twenty is proof of want of heart; to be one at thirty is proof of want of head." -- |

At that rate, in about 1000 years it might pay for itself. ;-) -- There is never a situation where having more rounds is a disadvantage Rob Leatham |

I must have been asleep in 1980. What problem? As for the uninsured, Think Progress, a liberal-progressive think group, has an interesting piece. You recall the guy who was beaten by an SEIU thug? Turns out the victim doesn't have insurance and Think Progress is using him as an example of why a government program is necessary. 'Course if the union members didn't go around slugging folks, the guy wouldn't need insurance either. |
