Are Umbrellas For Women And Not Men?

A young woman sits in a combi laughing uncontrollably as a middle-aged man comes rushing in, his clothes and face dripping with water. He frequently wipes his eyes with his right hand so he can see clearly.

"Is that umbrella not working?" she loudly asks the man, pointing to the umbrella in the man's left hand as he sits next to her. The man opens his eyes widely, raises the folded umbrella to his face, shakes his head, and foolishly grins then looks at the woman's face as if in search of an answer. He presses the button and the big umbrella opens, startling some people sitting close by.
