How to fix a broken onion, from a male perspective.

[Ohiogal]

Yesterday, when we were unloading groceries, my husband accidentally dropped an onion on the floor and the skin broke open.

He asked me if it would go bad if left like that, and I replied, I’m not sure, but why don’t you put it in a Ziploc bag and put it in the fridge, and I’ll use it next when I need an onion.

So, this morning, I’m going to make ratatouille. I go down to the cellar to get some canned tomatoes, and see this on top of the net bag with the onions in it. I couldn’t stop laughing and just had to post this picture.

1. If only "all the king's horses and all the king's men" had duct tape.

[Ohiogal]

10. Really!

[Glamrock]

2. If it can't be fixed with duct tape, it can't be fixed!

[House of Roberts]

6. Except for grey RTV.

That's semi-liquid duct tape!

[Ohiogal]

17. Not familiar with that....

Is it like Bondo for cars?

[House of Roberts]

24. Used as a gasket sealant.

Consider it industrial quality 'Flex Seal'.

[Ohiogal]

37. Ah, thanks!

[calimary]

34. There's always Super Glue...

[Ohiogal]

11. Great minds think alike!

[appleannie1943]

52. If it can't be fixed with duct tape use WD40

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

60. If it's supposed to move and it doesn't, use WD40. If it moves and it's not supposed to,

use duct tape.

62. Kind of like the basic principles of dermatology -

- if it’s wet, dry it; if it’s dry, wet it.

Or the military classic:
If it moves, salute it.
If it doesn’t move, pick it up.
If you can’t pick it up, paint it.

3. It's a much bigger problem!

12. She must be

one of those intellectuals we keep hearing about!

[ret5hd]

4. Is his name Red Green:

"...the handyman's secret weapon, duct tape."

"I'm a man, but I can change. If I have to. I guess."

"If the women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy."

[Arkansas Granny]

9. That was a great show.

[lastlib]

53. Oh, Gawd, it was HYSTERICAL!!

Red Green -- -- -- -- -- -- -- --

[Ohiogal]

13. Oh gosh, no!

[SergeStorms]

35. I loved the 'Red Green' show.

I even packed the family up and traveled to Toronto once to view a live taping. It was tremendous. Red, Harold, Edgar Montrose, the whole group was just amazing. They left us far too soon.

[True Dough]

5. Get well, onion!

[Ohiogal]

14. I hope

our vegetable insurance is up to date!

[rampartc]

7. duct tape blues

[Ohiogal]

15. Hahahahaha

[calimary]

36. Duct Tape Blues!

[LAS14]

8. Thanks for the big dose of healthy laughter!!! nt

[Ohiogal]

16. You're welcome!

[SWBTATTReg]

18. Hah he ha! Your husband has a great sense of humor! Thanks for the laugh! nt

[Ohiogal]

19. He is quite an innovator ....

[Ron Obvious]

20. An oldie: the engineering flowchart

[LakeArenal]

25. You pretty much beat me...

Cuz onceWD40 doesn’t work, what’s left but duct tape? 🤷🏼‍♀️

[csziggy]

64. Yeah, but will the duct tape stick if there is WD-40 on it?

Use duct tape first - if that doesn't fix it, THEN use the WD-40. If nothing else, the WD-40 will take the sticky glue off that the duct tape leaves.

[calimary]

38. We had a parttime engineer at the first station where I worked, a small station

with a small staff, who lived by WD40. Every time something broke, his answer was to spray WD40 on it and pronounce it fixed.

EVERYTHING!

He didn't even bother with duct tape.

[Ohiogal]

39. Yep. Excellent advice.

[MLAA]

21. I've heard duct tape referred to as Georgia Chrome

Looks like your husband just tricked out the onion 😬

[SergeStorms]

32. "Georgia Chrome".

That's a good one. Never heard it before, and I've been around quite a while. I have nothing against people from Georgia, mind you.

[Ohiogal]

42. Good one!

[Blue Owl]

22. Should be good for a couple weeks...

[Ohiogal]

43. ....

[getagrip_already]

23. clearly imported from mexico.....

The only question is did the super car it was carried in make a right or a left?

[Ohiogal]

44. Ask Trump ...

He knows more about navigation than any navigator!

[LakeArenal]

26. Fixed it!

[Ohiogal]

54. Yes, he did!

[Honeycombe8]

27. Duct tape's great for everything! LOL. nt

[TEB]

28. I love it

Duct tape your husband is a genius

[Ohiogal]

45. That he is .....

[FakeNoose]

29. I know why your hubby did this

He didn't know which drawer the ziplock bags were in.
Maybe he wasn't even sure what a ziplock bag is.
But duct tape? No problem!

[ariadne0614]

41. I can see his logic.

Think about it. A ziplock bag is a feminine solution (receptive), and duct tape is masculine (requires sticking). He was thinking with his . . .nevermind.

[Ohiogal]

57. ...

[Ohiogal]

46. It's a man thing, all right!

[Ohiogal]

56. I think you're on to him

[Bob Loblaw]

30. Though not a fix for the onion

How about some love for bungee cords?

[Ohiogal]

47. Don't give him any ideas ....

He’s got lots a them down in his workshop, too!

[SergeStorms]

31. "The handyman's secret weapon".

To quote 'Red Green', a once favorite of mine on PBS and Canadian TV. I used to love that show. It was good, clean, just plain dumb fun.

[Ohiogal]

50. We've got a pair of old worn out Thinsulate gloves

that we use for messy yard work that have duct tape on em, too.

[kag]

33. Many years ago I had a co-worker who had grown up in Alaska.

She said the main reason the TV show "Northern Exposure" wasn't authentically Alaskan was because "there's not enough duct tape" in it.

[Ohiogal]

48. I loved that show!

[defacto7]

40. I would have used a screw clamp.

[Ohiogal]

49. Oh yeah

That would work, too!

[jayschool2013]

51. From THAT male's perspective

We're not all useless around the kitchen. And I wouldn't know what to do with duct tape, but I know the perfect use for every knife in my kitchen.

[Ohiogal]

59. You're certainly a step ahead of moi!

[jayschool2013]

61. THANKS!

[Kurt V.]

55. thanks ohiogal!! i laughed so hard.

[Ohiogal]

58. So did I!

And you’re welcome!

[akraven]

63. There are few things you can't use duct tape for -

It should be considered a staple in every Alaskan residence!
