Can you imagine what the response would have been if he coupled galoshes with that umbrella?

There is a little known cell of terrorists that use umbrellas. If they open them all at once it creates a shock wave that will collapse a store. If they close them all at once it creates a vacuum that can suck airplanes right out of the sky. If they get out of sync they just create a shock wave that sucks.

Then there was that Russian agent that use a BB firing umbrella to inject prussic acid into his targets. They were dead before they hit the ground and the poison was untracable.

They also used it in squirt guns.

I read quite an interesting article on that. They didn't die quite that quick but dead none-the-less. Here's the article:

And a copy of the umbrella:

They need to send the idiot that made the first report a bill for all the hours paid to the cops while chasing the umbrella man around. I carried a gun down mainstreet on my way to the gunsmith here the other day (in a case). All I got was a few howdy's and a couple,How's it goings. East Texas sure ain't Boston. Thank God.
