Bad brella

On the rainiest of late winter days there lurks a force of evil so powerful that it can bend cheap steel and nylon with a single gust - B.U.D. or Bent Umbrella Disruption.  Its common when on a sidewalk and heading into the wind, the updraft catches the umbrella and like a Hanes t-shirt the umbrella is instantly turned inside-out and the umbrella holder is incrementally wetter.  Dogs don't experience this, instead they have the amazing shake-off ability to render dampness null with an applied fur movement.
