The best review of an umbrella ever written:
For the Unserious Dresser
Though this umbrella is labeled “classic,” it is shorter than a traditional umbrella. Carrying it makes you look like a man of compromises.

Bravo, sir.
(Forty percent chance of showers in Seattle and quite gray today. Happy second day of spring nonetheless!)

I don’t bother with umbrellas. I always just forget them in bars anyway. If I get wet, I get wet. Fuck it.
What a bunch of toxic bullshit. Don’t the rich people have anything serious to think about?
My short umberlla goes in my man-purse, aka my backpack. No need to show it off like I’m the fucking Penguin.
@ OuterCow, not even if we give you a top hat and a monocle? You probably would need to find an alternative to the backpack … backpacks go with none of that stuff.
Every man is a man of compromises.
There. I said it.
