This broadcast now sponsored by StrexCorp's Reversible Umbrellas.

Why should umbrellas be exclusively used outside? Isn't that inefficient? Aren't you disappointed by normal umbrellas?

Wouldn't it be efficient if you could bring your umbrella inside? Wouldn't it be perfect?

Don't you need to block weather indoors, too?

StrexCorp now offers the most perfect solution to all your umbrella inefficiencies.

You already own one. StrexCorp has already delivered one. Right to your door.

Smile. You should really be appreciative.

StrexCorp Reversible Umbrellas. It's never too late to start smiling.
