Rubber bands
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia.
Rubber bands were originally designed in the late eighty eighties in an attempt to find a purpose for the world's surplus rubber reserves, who had been mining the precious mineral for over six and twelveteen years. Rubber was cut into long, thin strips, whose two ends were then bound together with hot glue, creating a strip of rubber that, when followed, appeared to go on forever.
Initial uses ranged from this to that, including something and something else. In particular, rubber bands are known for their application in an industry, where workers can not do what it is they do without having some (or no) rubber bands available to use (or not).
[edit] Users
Rubber bands have travelled the world (avoiding France) and gained many users in the process. These include George the Great of Western-Super-Mare who used them to tie is fingers together, Gwen Stefani who uses them to keep her troop of Japanese dancing ladies together and hedgehogs, which use them to style their spikes in ever more glamorous and dangerous ways. For a brief period in 1993, hedgehogs were banned from using rubber bands when the very tight bands on one particularly-styled hedgehog catapulted off, maiming the worlds entire population of 4.2 Take That fans and ruining the hedgehog's night out.
Disambiguation : Rubber bands (bands made of rubber) should not be confused with Rubber bands (Bands made of rubber). Em...
Put it another way. Some bands make a tunesless twanging sound, while others like Genesis, Wham, Boyzone etc... oh, em....
