#1 There are shower heads available to allow submarine showers. They have quick acting button valves so you can turn the water off at the shower head and not the water valves.

Submarine shower goes like this:
water on
wet quickly
water off
soap down everything (don't forget all those nooks and crannies)
water on
rinse off quickly
main water off.

If done judiciously, will only use 1 gallon of water. There's no need to run water continuously while shampooing. Wotta buncha civilian cryin' woosies!

#2 Sheryl Crow's advice for all those wanting to live green or brown is to use one piece of toilet paper.

#3 I live at the lower end of the Mississippi River. My water may be filthy, but I have plenty of it. I can take as long a shower as I want and not run out of water. I won't get clean, but I won't run out of water.

#4 Efforts to convince the public to limit their domestic water use make me angry. To start with, industry and agriculture use the vast majority of water, and often very wastefully. In most places with limited water, domestic use is as little as 1% of use.

When you point this out, the water fascists will insist that it is *more* important to "raise public awareness" about water conservation, than to actually conserve water!

Those bastards!

Such people should be horsewhipped.

#5 Submarine shower goes like this:

Exactly what my showers are like when the various daughters take longer than usual in the morning. Spoiled college kids. I'm sure Miss Becky Bob's hair does take longer to rinse the shampoo from, but if she really cared she'd cut it short and use one of those clever electric straightening irons to get rid of the soap-holding curls. ;-)

I've no problem with enthusiastic college kids practicing the arts of being penniless, though. It'll be useful information for the next stage of their lives.

That will be a right handy skill after President Obama nationalizes the water system.
