This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Umbrella gets wet. Ya shake it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Is that a Finnish thing or just the first thing you thought to shake?

There is no innuendo if you are looking for an innuendo. He's literally talking about shaking the rain off an umbrella. He's happily married and neither his wife nor he like to dance so they don't shake anything but their umbrella. Get it?

Finnish people do not shake hands.

What else do you shake on a fairly common basis, I suppose you also shake the bottle to get every last drop out. So it's bottle or umbrella.

Oh my god, I feel so dumb. I really thought you had just made a typo and said shake instead of share.

Sharing doesn't sound possible, or at least would require an unwieldy parasol or something.

I think all of my umbrellas can fit two if a couple, and three if everyone is okay with rubbing torsos.

Mine cant. Even with this latest safety distance-nonsense of just 2 meters.
