In a land where precipitation occurs
trop souvent, especially on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 1:00 PM when I must trek up a hill to get to my class in the Stewart Biology Building (not exaggerating), I have observed that natives use a protective shade on a stick that they fondly call "paraplouie," or "umbrella" to block the rain. It seems that there is an assortment of these umbrellas which range in size, shape, color, and design. From my observations, I have determined that these natives have attributed great cultural significance to their rain attire and umbrellas. I believe they act as status symbols. An umbrella with rows of "CCCCCCCCCCCC" seems to indicate wealth -- or at least, American obnoxiousness.
Whoever you are, I hope you don't mind that I took a picture of you with your adorable umbrella.
