Climbing Trees with electrical tape

Jerrod came home the other day, I have been bed-ridden since my surgery, I get up for little walks, but mostly have been staying in my room and resting...

Anyway, Jerrod came in after being gone all day, I literraly had not seen him since he woke up. (Since we moved on base, I don't worry too much about him when he is outside) Anyway, he came in and had marks all over his arms and legs, at first I thought it was dirt, but it looked more like the my arms after my surgery, where the bandages had been on my arms, you know the adhesive remnants that you have to scrape off with your fingernails....

I asked what was all over him and sure enough, it was adhesive. He and the next door neighbor decided to put electrical tape all over him, which then enabled him to climb the trees out back... Since the adhesive was on his skin, it was adhesive side down and so, how exactly it helped him climb the tree I am not sure, it was probably something you needed to see to get, of course then again, maybe I didnt want to see it....

He assured me that he climbed all the way up the tree, he even had the sap in his hair to prove it..

So... apparently, you can climb trees with electrical tape.... i wonder if thats what the guys at the cultural center in Hawaii use to climb the coconut trees...
