You don't have to shower alone, all wet and lathery and lonesome. You should have some company in that shower. By company, I mean the inanimate object known as a bucket. That's right, I've just told you in far too complicated and mixed-up terms that you should shower in the company of a bucket that you should also consider a buddy.

CAUTION:
Don't actually consider your bucket a buddy. Don't talk to it. If you do start talking to your bucket, don't do it in front of your real buddies or you will lose them.

Why You Should Consider a Bucket a Buddy!
A bucket in the shower will help you save the planet. It won't seem like its doing much. It won't pass the guava-scented soap. It will only sit there, filling with grey water until you are done with that shower. Then get dressed. Take the water outside and give it to your garden.

Your buddy-bucket shower is now complete.

Other uses for buddy bucket's grey water:
Clean the fish tank.
Give to house plants.
Refill toilet tank.
Wash your windshields with it.
Clean off that inflatable raft that's been sitting in your trunk since Labor Day.
