The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for November 08, 2021

I never forget my umbrella. I hate it.

When our weatherperson predicts 100% “sunshine” for the day, I always take my “brolly” when I go out!! And I’m usually right!!

/SHMIRK/

Never quote me the odds!

It never fails. It would have been different if you brought it. It wouldn’t dare rain.

If you brought your umbrella it would still rain but the wind would wreck the umbrella.

With the wind tunnel effect of tall buildings in the city there are two things that you can count on. A plethora of wrecked umbrellas littering the streets and street vendors selling cheap umbrellas at every corner.

rainy days and Mondays

tokyo’s rainy season is the absolute worst time of year, humid, sticky, wet. horrible. a panicked customer called me on a typical downpouring day and pleaded for me to rush over. as i hurried around the corner in the underpass an old lady coming down the stairs with her umbrella pointed in front of her speared my brolly, destroying it. i arrived at the customer’s office thoroughly drenched, dripping on the carpet. briefly surveying the situation, i alertly noted that the panicked customer’s problem was that she hadn’t plugged her PC in…

the day you forgot you’re umbrella on a rainy day is just another reminder of you being a born loser. :D

I have two umbrellas. They are from a grocery store that went out of business. They’re big and work well. One in my car and one in my truck.

And there’s a 110 percent chance that your a idoit, Brutis !

Thank goodness I have an EV car, though I once used the bus for getting to college down town. Then, I had to use an umbrella.

Don’t need no umbrella. I may be sweet, but I ain’t made of Sugar!

When the weatherman woman whatever says there’s a 50% chance of rain means they don’t know.

With Brutus’ “luck”, there’s probably a small rain cloud right above him, just laughing.

Give me a 50-50 chance of making the correct decision and I’m wrong 90% of the time.

In Brutus’ case, it’s actually a bumblershoot.

I once left my rainsuit home when I went riding ’cuz there was only 15% chance of precip… I got drenched.

And the one time he doesn’t buy a lottery ticket his numbers will come up.

I am just the right height to get poked in the eye by someone’s umbrella, so I don’t like them. I have hoods on most of my sweatshirt and jackets and coats, so I rely on that. I never found a way to get entirely into or out of a car with and umbrella and staying dry. With a hood up, I can. Plus now I walk several miles a day outside, so it’s easy to just wear a hoodie. For my dog, some nice rain is a good bath once I wipe her down well with a microfiber towel. We walk in all weather, and where I live, we get it all.

Bru, your weatherman is better than ours. We always believe the opposite of our weather report.

Had a few days when was up to my knees in 10%

Always carry your umbrella and you’ll never get any rain…

You should be used to that by now, you are the born loser.

He must have washed his car.

When the forecaster says there’s a 20% chance of rain, that really means there’s an 80% chance they’re 100% wrong.

The weather forecasters are envious of Mario Mendoza’s lifetime batting average.

May as well just sing a song and do a dance and enjoy the moment. It’s not going to get much better……

I miss needing an umbrella :-(

Brutus, that hat looks like mine, and it is an excellent hat in the rain. I don’t know about your coat, though.
