Got XM radio on in the office after a long week. Usually have XM Cafe or the folk channel on, but hit Top Tracks and the Beatles' Get Back came on. Who is the non-Beatle singing at the end of the song on the longer version? A prize. Well, anything in my office. Spinal Tap lunchbox? Nope. Picture of my kid. Nah. One of the 45's on my wall, or a tape gun. Sure.

Right you are! I do think I may be making these quizzes too easy, but hey, I'm new at this.

Yay, me!
um, what sort of tape gun?

Well, I know you're a bookseller and have wrestled with a tape gun or 2. I hate those pistol grip ones with teeth that rips skin. This is going to sound dorky but Scotch has FINALLY made a packing tape dispenser in which the tape doesn't fall back onto the roll. Hate looking/feeling for that thin tape line! I'll send you 5 of these puppies if you like!
