Do You Carry An Umbrella?

[BeBMan]

Never.

It rained here the other day. Broke a measely 19 days over 100 degrees streak. Pales in comparison to 1980, with 69 days straight. Umbrella? No way, Jose. I was walking in it.

Mrs. T, what did Tubes tell you?!? You weren't in Hawaii, you were in Oregon. That's why it was raining everyday!

No, even in rainy Vancouver.

Had a big blue jacket with a hood on it.

Not the best solution, but I hated losing the umbrellas.

[BeBMan]

The real question is of course if you use it for beating up people

[Dauphin]

Steed stylee? Or anti-Bulgarian stylee?

[BeBMan]

Anti-Bulgarian? Damn I have no idea *looks dumb*.....I was thinking of that Monthy Python number, when those grandmas beat the crap out of peaceful young gang members....

A good umbrella is a multi-purpose tool.

It keeps the rain or sun off your head.
It functions as a cane.
You can use it as a sword or spear to keep ruffians at bay (what ho, ne'er-do-well!)
You can pick up trash and other stuff from the ground.
You can scare flocks of birds into flight and crash those Nazi planes that are chasing you and your son.
You can prod the ground ahead and locate the quicksand before you fall in.
You can use the hook handle to grab a tree and pull yourself out of the quicksand if you forgot to prod first.
You can use it to pull your friend out of the quicksand that he fell into because he didn't bring an umbrella.
You can use the hook handle to slide to freedom down a handy wire when the zombies invade your building.
If you paint a spiral on top you can twirl it around an hypnotize enemy spies into revealing where they've hidden the antidote to the poison you drank after they surreptitiously slipped it into your lime rickey.

Umbrellas. Good stuff.

DAm yu mena the whole time i was in oregon what kind of crap is that? What a horrible thing to do tell me i was in hawaii!!!! I was actually refering to my contract before oregon,I spent 13 weeks in hawaii on contract before oregon.
It actually only rained the first 3 weeks i was in oregon then it stopped the whole time i was there. So ididnt have to use an umbrella there.

Thx, didn't know that - but it's an interesting story. And reinforces my view that nothing good comes out when using an umbrella

That's pretty fortunate. It can really rain on the pacific coast.
