UFO Recession Tip 70 - 10 Easy Ways to Lower Electricity Bills

Tip70candles

Earthling, it is very simple to lower your electricity bills during recession. Here are 10 easy ways you can be GREEN like us and save money:

Tip 1: Adjust Your Thermostat by 4 Degrees
This is Didiot-proof. Human, you do not need a college degree to effectively operate a thermostat. Simply set your thermostat to four degrees lower in the winter, and four degrees higher in the summer. Most people in your dwelling will not notice the difference. This simple trick can save you a whopping $40 a month on your electric bill. During hours when nobody is home, lower it up or down by an additional 5 or 10 degrees to double your savings.

Tip 2: Turn Off that Light!
Simply turn off lights when you leave a room for longer than 30 seconds. We hope you are not one of those lazy Earthlings who make a big deal of lifting their small finger to push the light lever down.

UFO Recession Tip 68 - Windows Found to Slow Productivity

68appleisbetter_2

Earthlings, we are amazed at how crappy your top-selling computer software technology is, considering there is a better, more efficient alternative. We are a vastly superior species, however we cannot figure out why humans put up with sub par technology. This defies logic.

We do not want to offend anyone, but we are referring to your Microsoft Windows operating system versus Apple OSX. We have tried both.

Why is Windows called Windows? We assume because windows has to be cleaned often68bwindowslogo and that is truly the case with Windows. Updates, bugs and viruses - it was frightening! Earthlings, we have crossed all kinds of galaxies, but have never seen such an inferior software system as Windows.

Conspirators say Bill Gates, ruler of Microsoft, must be an alien. They point to his accumulation of so many Earthling dollars as proof. This is blasphemy. No alien would create such an unreliable, inferior, copy cat, slow, buggy, hacker heaven, operating system. He should be banned from your planet for making Earthlings go through hell using his Windows product.

Windows is a time waster. Windows has a much slower performance than Apple. We tried to fix the problem by cleaning windows with Windex, but it didn't work. Nothing worked. We wasted so much time twiddling our green fingers, waiting for Windows to start up and power down.

"Waiting for windows to startup was a waste of my precious time on this beautiful planet" - Meera Brauk

Apple is delightful. We first tried to take a bite out of it, but it just didn't taste right. Then we pressed the 'on' button. We were amazed at the speed the Apple computer loaded up.

UFO Recession Tip 64 - Fan Your Fanny

64recessionalienusefans_8

Earthlings, we do not understand why you do not use a simple technology invented thousands of years ago to cool yourself and reduce your monthly electricity bills. Fanning has been part of royalty, queens and kings since the dawn of humans inventing the "kingdom" concept in order to control others.

After studying your Earthly history, we are befuddled how someone became a king or queen. We found no evidence that human DNA from queens or kings has any special 'kingdom genes." We have found no evidence that any present-day Earthlings posses queen or king genes.

Zorkplanetsqad200_4 We did find that some smart-alec homo Sapien decided to call himself king. Other Earthlings volunteered to be the servants and cooled him with large fans, keeping a breeze in front of their king 24/7. We found the phrase, "It's good to be the king," quite applicable with the luxury of having servants providing the "cooling effect."

Earthlings, you have electric fans, battery powered fans and hand fans available to you. There is no reason to keep the air conditioning low when you can keep it at 72 degrees and enjoy fanning yourself. Imagine
