Here is a tip on how to attract bird-individuals to bird-people baths since dirty ones with algae accumulation deter them. Setting one to two pre-1982 copper pennies in the water can keep algae levels low as these pennies are mainly copper based (95% copper to 5% zinc) and the copper ions interfere with algae growth. Prior to placing them in the bird-people bath, you will need to clean them using either vinegar, salt, or lemon, and make sure they don’t have any signs of corrosion, rust, or are turning green. The pennies can be left in there permanently, or until they've corroded or tarnished. Also, be sure to change the water weekly. This technique is safe and helps keep bird-people baths cleaner between scrubbings; however, you will still need to regularly scrub it and replace the water.
The joke of the day will be brought to the studio any moment now, so you might want to sit tight and relax. This one’s called “Anger Management Tactics.”
Dennis was reading a newspaper when his best friend, Amir, walked by and asked:
“Any good news today?”
“Yeah, there is an intriguing article about how to control anger.”
“Wow, fascinating. How should one do it?”
“It says if you are angry with someone, you should think carefully before frankly speaking your mind:
- If that person is smaller than you, count to 10 and say it.
- If that person is equal to you, count to 30 and say it.
- If that person is older than you, count to 50 and respectfully consider saying it.
- If that person is your boss, count to 100, and think about saying it.
- If it’s your wife, just count... and don’t say it.
- If it’s your husband, just say it... don’t count.”
