I live on the coast of Oregon we do not use Umbrellas as they are always getting ruined. We rust. We also do not think Trump knows anything, that is the problem. If he knew anything he would be lonely.

@dalefvictor giuliani and trump are a good match for ignorance.

i have a funny umbrella story to tell. in japan, where i lived for a decade, people were always offering me their umbrellas when it rained, and in june it rained a lot -- hot sticky june NEEDS rain. you'd think they would welcome the rain, but no, there they were with their umbrellas, always around my eye level, so when they offered to hold them over me they were really about to hit me in the eye, and when they offered to give them to me, likewise. i would say no thanks and they would think me crazy, no doubt. well, i developed a stock answer to make them laugh and feel better when i rejected their offers. i would smile and say "sato ja nai, yo." i'm not sato, you know. i'd pronounce it SA to. that's a common japanese surname, not quite smith, but maybe brown or miller -- that common. they'd frown, puzzled. of course i wasn't sato. i obviously wasn't japanese. but then i'd say "tokemasen, yo!" i won't melt, you know! then they'd laugh, because had i pronounced it sa TO, that would've been the word for sugar. i'm not sugar, you know. i won't melt, you know!" only a foreigner could get away with that joke. a japanese person wouldn't mispronounce sugar. so that would ease the tension and i could walk off in the rain without an umbrella.
