"Drat! I'm down to my last elastic band, and it's too small to fit around this vital bundle of notes". "Don't worry - use this one." "That's very kind of you, but it's clearly far too small to do the job." "Ah yes, but if you just cut along the entire length of that dotted line, it will double in size." "Oh I see, I didn't notice that half twist - how odd"

       If you continue this process indefinitely, you will of course have an infinite quantity of elastic band.

       - Extroardinarily limited in application
- Addresses a nearly non-existant problem
- Which is itself more easily and cheaply solved with a quick trip to the drug store
  

       In other words,   

       Half-baked!
