Here is a story about my tape recycling.

     A few years back when we still used mag tapes, I had a good friend who
     was to be married. I thought a good use of some of the tapes that we
     didn't use anymore was to (with some help) unwrap them from there
     spools (one 2400' reel made a remarkably large pile) and use them as
     decorations on and in the car they were going to use for there
     honeymoon. I didn't think they would not take the tape off of there
     car before they left, but they didn't. It wasn't too many miles into
     their trip that the tape became so entangled in the axles of the car
     that it ended up ruining their breaks.
