Random Tip For You

It's fall, which means this is the time of year when I wear the same thing every Saturday, eat food in parking lots and yell obscenities at strangers. No, I don't go crazy every fall - it's FOOTBALL SEASON!

For those of you who don't follow college Football:
A) What's wrong with you?
B) Stay put, this tip applies to other sporting events.

Once a season, the stadium passes out little towels to everyone - my fellow Wolfpackers know them as Howl Towels - so that fans can wave them whenever something exciting happens.

Lots of people throw them out or leave them behind after the game, but they shouldn't do that. Why is that? I'm glad you asked. There are so many ways to re-use them:

-house - they're great for dusting and cleaning counter tops

-shop/garage/gym - keep one handy when you're working to wipe the sweat from your (wo)manly brow

-car - de-fog your windshield, wipe drive-thru grease off your hands or dust a CD

-diaper bag - babies like to make messes, so it's nice to have something on hand to absorb stuff that you can pretend never existed throw away toss in the wash, guilt free

-tail-gate kit - they never seem to give out the Howl Towels the day it rains, so keep it in your bag to wipe your seats on a rainy day - it beats grabbing dozens of paper towels from the ladies' room

See, I told you they were useful. Seriously - I haven't paid for a household rag since I started going to football games. I challenge you sports fans - save some dough and keep those towels out of the landfill!
