Give Your Ears a Rest While Still Wearing a Mask

One way to eliminate the discomfort of your face mask constantly sliding off or pulling off your ears is to fasten that mask onto a headband. How should one go about doing such a thing, you ask? Well, it's all about buttons. Look at the person in the picture below and how they utilized buttons to hold their mask in place.

Help a Stranger Who Lost Their Keys

Ancient civilizations had a really good way of drawing attention to certain things - they marked them. They used whatever was at their disposal at a given moment to make something visually stand out. This can come in handy when trying to point out things in the real world. This person, for instance, had lost his car keys, only to find out that somebody had marked them out for him on the street.

No Leash, No Problem

You could use a leash. That's the first method. The leash symbolizes the domination of man over his best friend, the total control and authority a person has over his furry pet.

The dog, mesmerized by the prospect of tasting the salty goodness dangling before him, will follow the bag of chips wherever it goes. Now isn't that a great way to control your pet?
