When do you say when on the $2 umbrella?

umbrella.jpgThe sharkblog.com laboratory is at it again testing those umbrella's that amazingly show up on the streets when it starts to rain in Manhattan. I despise umbrellas, especially since I grew up never using one, running from the car to a building. If I was the NYC mayor, I would ban them. If I had a donut for each time i've been hit by some idiot not paying attention with their umbrella, i'd be really really fat. When I do buy umbrella's I only get the street ones and it is only when there is an actual monsoon. I'm not going to be that guy with the golf umbrella or the burberry umbrella, PLEASE spare me! If it is a slight down pour, I just buy the post for 25 cents and use that. A little tip; when you do buy those umbrellas you never take the initial price. $4 is highway robbery and 50 cents is what they paid for it, so i only pay 2.
So How long does the $2 umbrella last?
The $2 umbrella lasts exactly 2 months before it becomes a deadly weapon. Although, I'm still using this one in the picture to the left, I am about to retire it. If you look close there are 2 very long umbrella daggers, sharper than a swiss army. I am really suprised you can't be ticketed for these shotty umbrella's - you could literally poke someone's eye out. Oh well so long umbrella - I got my 2 dollars worth, thanks for slicing my finger when I tried to collapse you and thanks for kinda keeping me dry!
