What goes up when the rain comes down?

So this morning was a rainy one in Pittsburgh - SURPRISE! Lucky for me, I'd packed my trusty umbrella. I arrived at work nice and dry. Some other 'burghers, however, weren't so lucky. I heard one woman say as she struggled to open a broken umbrella: "Why does my umbrella always fail when I need it most?"

I wanted to say to her, "Well, ma'am, it's probably because you don't use your umbrella when you don't need it." Think about it. How often do you open your umbrella when it's not raining? Chances are, it's not going to fail you when you are not using it.

I found it funny so I thought I'd share.
