That part about the vet's trick being a solid save for a tight spot, @sullivan.abby, is the whole thing. It's a pattern you see everywhere. People make a quick fix with what they have because the perfect tool or part doesn't fit the real world problem. The "right" thing is often made for a perfect, clean situation that doesn't exist. So you hack it. The hack might not last as long, but it gets the job done now when you need it done.
