Pluggers by Rick McKee for June 26, 2022

must be one of those umbrellas that don’t fit into the glove compartment

Eh, we always keeps it on the rear seats.

Don’t know why but I never carried an umbrella in the car ;-)

The Late and Unlamented carried a baseball bat in the car for protection. He kept it on the floor of the back seat.

that’s like leaving a spare set of car keys in your glove compartment, which a friend used to do, and he also had a coat hanger in the back seat (years ago, so last century)

Kind of like leaving the ice scraper and snow brush in the very back during the winter

I haven’t used an umbrella in decades. Either we get a slight drizzle or it’s windy, in either case an umbrella is useless.

My Chrysler van has a little tray beside the door for an umbrella. Holds flashlight, haven’t used an umbrella for years but there’s one in pouch in the back of the seat just in case. (p/s See todays Buckets)

Keep the umbrella in the back seat. Haven’t used it in years.

My question is: why is that her problem?

The good news is that we have an umbrella. The bad news is that I’ll get wet getting it for you.

I have a friend who bought one of those cheater bars for unlocking your car when you are locked out. He keeps it in the trunk. No kidding.

And.. as a true plugger will get soaked while retrieving it, just to save his sweeties hair getting wet. And, as a true plugger knows he will get lemon tea in bed when he catches a cold.

So? You’re not made of sugar. You get out and get it. Pluggers do generally have a hat in the car. :)

For you, not for her. You are going to get the umbrella, not her……

Not when the plugger drives a minivan! :)

I do have an umbrella in the pocket behind the front seat. It doesn’t help though, when the downpour starts when one is inside the store.

Because your husband drives your car ONCE and sticks it there.

Many years ago I was in England during a rainstorm. An English friend told me that a proper Englishman hs three umbrellas. “One for home, one for the office and one to lose on the train.”

Once you’re soaked, you can’t get any wetter.

If he’s a Plugger, I’m sure he’s a manly man and also chivalrous enough to retrieve the umbrella from the trunk so his lady will not be inconvenienced.

“Listen to the rhythm of the falling rain telling me just what a fool i’ve been…”

fortunately, I can get to my trunk without getting out of the car :-)

Someone is going to get wet, I know who that will be.

I don’t bother with umbrellas anymore. I came into this world pre-shrunk and I sure as heck ain’t make of sugar!!

A plugger knows to drop his wife at the store front and hike the distance themselves.
