umbrellas
lets face it they never work.
the wind blows and they are covered under the
2 for 1 warranty
they last for 2 minutes then you need a new one.
weak, structurally unsound in wind over a dog fart
they are the lemons of the industrial design world.
and miraculously when it rains they multiply
sold in every corner store, cheap and waiting
on the edge of that metaphorical cliff
like lemmings following one another
to the closest bin
where they can rest with each other.
living in a dry country
they spend more time inside anyway, warm a safe and shut.
outside they spend more time inside out.
a slight breeze and thats it, get a new one
unless you believe the hype
and whats the matter with water anyway
generally people run from the car to a house
enclosed and protected .
people pay for hydrating spray.
go on get out there and turn your face to the sky.
feel the drops from the heavens
run round in your underpants
have fun and remember
kids dont use them.
Pete you seem blissfully unaware of one very common problem: rain ruins hair.
ReplyDeleteGranted, not your hair (clearly), but hair of other people,those less fortunate than you are, those (like yours truly)with only a few pathetic looking, dry, tired, lifeless, dull strands that require hours of work to even remotely resemble human hair.
So let me tell you, I will not let some random drizzle make a joke out of my daily struggle.
I will buy an umbrella every time it rains if I have to in my perpetual quest for sexy luscious locks.
And no I don't mind it so much for the drops from the Heavens to run round in my underpants, its their landing on the other end I particularly object to.
In my opinion that's a very good explanation for the (seemingly) illogical commercial success of such poorly designed object.
