THE UMBRELLA - A TOUCHING STORY    
On a rainy afternoon, a group of protesters were gathered outside the grocery store handing out pamphlets on the   “evils”   of America. I politely declined to take one.    
There was an elderly woman behind me and a young (20-ish) female protester offered her a pamphlet, which she politely declined.    
The young protester gently put her hand on the old woman's shoulder and in a patronizing voice said, "Don't you care about the children of Iraq?"    
The old woman looked up at her and said: "Honey, my father died in France during World War II, I lost my husband in Korea , and a son in Vietnam  All three died so a naïve, ignorant, self-centered bimbo like you could have the right to stand here and badmouth our country; and if you touch me again, I'll shove this umbrella up your ass and open it."
