    Organ repair. 
    Seriously, though- any reason you'd have it at home.

    Never thought of that. Use number 10,001 for duct tape.

    Some people start screaming the moment they see a needle, duct tape is useful for taping over their mouth so they cant scare away the other patients ;-))

    Nah, duct tape is useful for many purposes, maybe he has been repairing a rickety chair or something like that.
