silence is golden, duct tape is silver - NSV

Options
Good morning
Just thought I'd share my latest NSV, this morning I decided that the lawn needed mowing as it was probably long enough for my 2 year old twin boys to go hide in. So I dug out my old lawn moving clothes and headed outside. Well 5 minutes in and I realised the shorts were a big mistake, they were literally falling off (hope the neighbours didn't get an eyefull) so I spent another 5 minutes trying to push the mower with my right hand and hold my shorts up with my left, stupid idea, the left side stayed up buttthe right side was still sagging, so I thought to myself wwmd (what would macguyver do?)
I had some duct tape in the shed, so I did what any rational man in my predicament would do, I made a belt.out of duct tape (wrapped it round me. I didn't fashion a belt with holes and a buckle, although now I wish I had), my wife took a picture of me removing my awesome creation. So now I need to go buy a new pair of old shorts to cut the grass in.

    Thank you all. It was a moment of silvery inspiration.

    I will add, I do own a belt but it was inside and I was all dirty so didn't want to track grass through the house.
