This might sound ridiculous, but....
Whoever said "Let a smile be your umbrella" was seriously nuts. If you have an umbrella that points up like a bowl, sooner or later someone is going to get wet! It's much better to let a frown be your umbrella so that they roll off to the ground. Perhaps I will let a smile be my birdbath instead. I like birds, as long as they don't go to the bathroom on my head or on my car.Of, the myriad complications of life!
