Update: Early Bird has been informed by a member of her own family that this is also known as the long-standing “Little Brother’s Shower.” We thought you’d want to know.
Several Woodstock Early Birds have passed along tips for remaining clean and fresh during your Flood Response Day without using so much water. Some call this the “water conservation shower” while others describe it as “A Sailor’s Shower”:
Very simple:
1. Turn on shower
2. Wet Body.
3. Turn off shower.
4. Soap Up
5. Turn on Shower.
6. Rinse (Briefly!)
Eh, Voila! Fresh, clean Early Bird. Fluff feathers and be on your way…

And don’t forget the Golden Rule – If it’s Brown Flush it Down. If it’s Yellow Let it Mellow.

My family (on my mother’s side of Scottish descent) has a similar tradition called a Scotch Lick. Basically the same thing except done with a face cloth and a faucet! Desperate times…
