MacGyver!


"MacGyver – (v) 1. To use ingenuity to fix or remedy a problem using only the tools available at hand. 2. To jury-rig.

We have a lot to thank Angus MacGyver for. This mild-mannered and mulleted TV action-adventure character showed us how to solve everyday problems with a combination of ingenuity and readily available materials. Like burning through an armoured door with nothing but handlebars and a flare, for example." Cycle Chick

This morning, I found it necessary to MacGyver a tourniquet-like device to stop the ozzing of one mostly healed abdominal wound with only a paper towel, some scotch tape and a prayer. This wouldn't be necessary if I'd either invest in more Tagaderm patches or you know, find Band-Aids.   It also wouldn't be necessary if it weren't summer and I didn't insist on wearing white shirts.

But since I didn't and I do, I found myself in quite the predicament this morning.

So far, that scotch tape is holding up pretty well.
