Magic Umbrella

I have a magic umbrella. It's big, it's black, and whenever I have it with me, it doesn't rain. My magic umbrella never gets wet.

I forgot to bring my magic umbrella with me to work today. Naturally, I got rained on when I went to lunch.

Frustrated, he headed for the nearest trash can to dump the thing but couldn't....the can was stuffed full...

...of broken umbrellas.

I am not kidding about this!
