…Only Outlaws Will Have Umbrellas

It was the second killing with an umbrella in Japan in less than a month. (Full text here ( http://reuters.com/news_article.jhtml?type=humannews&StoryID=1066607))Peace.

"It abhors conflict, conspicuousness, overconfidence and overt sexuality.

Umbrellas are banned on Frankston beach, near here, ever since the wind picked one up and speared it into a man's head and killed him. :eek:
