We should put a piece of tape on the switch too. That'll really get the point across
But not just any tape! This 3x1" hyper-engineered marvel has been rigorously tested, exhaustively reviewed, signed off by a slew of brass, lost in a logistics chokepoint, found again, shipped faster-than-thought to a facility that's nearly spelled the same but on the wrong continent... So, this tape? This is what we pulled off the battery hatch for the coffee room's boombox while we wait for the certified piece.
Looks like we just found our new marketing executive for HEMtape boys! Tell us more about this tape's military applications.
