A long time ago (2008) in a galaxy far, far away (New Hampshire) a certain campaign advance person (me) broke her pinky toe on the campaign trail. A phone consultation with a nurse family member yielded advice: "Wrap gauze or cotton around the little toe, then use medical tape to stabilize the little toe next to the other toes. Do this every day until it's healed, probably 2-3 weeks. Oh, and you have to stay off of it for a couple days--none of this walking 10 miles in one day at a rally."
But alas, medical tape and gauze were nowhere to be found in ye olde Hampton Inn & Suites.

Our hero gaff tape, aided by a trusty toilet paper sidekick, to the rescue! After a few days of down time (boo) to stay off her feet, the advance person and her little piggie went "Wee wee wee" all the way to election day.
