How to fix G. I. Joe Head

June 26th, 2009

Today I decided to add a little something more interesting and funny to my blog. I am going to name the new category Funny Posts. For my first post I would like you all to check this funny picture out. We got a G. I. Joe soldier, but the kids broke off its head because they thought it’s suppose to come off. Then I tried gluing it with Silicone, but that didn’t work. Then I tried JB Weld glue, but the head fell off while it was gluing. So, I decided to take a screw and put it through G.I. Joe’s head and into his neck. Well, so far it is the best idea. The head twists just fine, and with the mask on you can’t even see the screw, and it is attached very securely. Kids if your head falls off, please don’t try to screw it back on, it’s too dangerous. So, if you want to know how to fix G.I. Joe Head, then just use a screw to reattach it.
