I was nearly 'stabbed' by a man carrying an umbrella just now. It wasn't raining so he was holding his folded umbrella in one hand. He came from behind and walked in front of me, swinging his arms back and forth. Lucky I was fast to avoid his swinging umbrella.
I also had previous close encounters like walking up the stairs and nearly kena stabbed incident.
So far all my encounters are with guys. I guess that's the manly way of carrying umbrellas.
I am all about the stick figures. Bravo! Oh, and sorry you kena stabbed all the time.
ReplyDeletemercermachine: In office kena backstabbed until bah alledy. Umbrella stabbing is nothing. kekeke....
ReplyDeletesi beh cute leh the stick figures...hur hur hur
ReplyDeleteWell, according to all the samurai movies and wuxia pian, that is the most manly way of carrying it.
ReplyDeleteHolding it point down: Too much like an old man
Hanging it at the crook of your elbow: Too auntie-ish
:-)
Great Pictures! Sorry that you continue to get stabbed by umbrellas. I hope your day gets better!
ReplyDeleteYou know, the Soviets assassinated someone in London using an umbrella-stab technique. They nearly went undetected.
ReplyDeleteCannot let it hang from your hand like an auntie or hold it vertically like a woman. So most guys hold it that way. Which is kinda stupid I think. Simply because it's dangerous.
ReplyDeleteCan't imagine if u got 'poked' in the eye and ermm... below the belt area.
ReplyDeleteNow i know men hold their umbrellas like holding pool cues.

ReplyDeletetempest blue: Also can hold it resting on the shoulder. More garang.
molly: Thanks. But not always kena stab one. Not so sway. :)
bery: Now you mentioned it. I read somewhere that they also had needles sticking out of the tip of the umbrella.
zen|th: Like that hor, we guys must carrying those extendable umbrellas.
lexandria: Let you imagine if the person holds the tip of the umbrella facing the front and pokes the person in front. :)
Eeks! It sounds so .. precarious!
ReplyDeletehahaha. yeah, i do admit i hold the umbrella this way too. gosh.
ReplyDeleteone little twit: Ya lor...dangerours.
ReplyDeletesimplestar: Just be careful when you hold that way. Also don't swing so much :)
