The rain falls softly.
The samurai draws his sword.
Look, an umbrella.
Either we just made it up, or that Haiku dates to around the
14th century. It is a little known fact that Samurai also carried
umbrellas. Much as they later had to disguise their swords as
canes, so they disguised their umbrellas as swords. In fact, there
was one skilled umbrella maker who all the Samurai relied on for
their Sword Handle Umbrellas.
His name has been buried in the sands
of time, but his plans have been preserved. And now, it is with
great pleasure that we offer to you, the Samurai Sword Handle
Umbrella.
Glide it out of its nylon sheath. Hold it by its space-age plastic
handle. Feel the balance. This is the umbrella you never knew you
always wanted. No one will mess with you with this slung across
your back, and even the rain will shudder when you pull it out.
For, apart from looking unbelievably awesome, the Samurai Sword
Handle Umbrella is a dang fine umbrella. It will keep you dry
and the envy of your friends. Precipitation doesn't stand a
chance.
