Rain and Convertibles
For this story to make sense, you need to know that my employer sells adult diapers. So it’s not surprising that I have a few packs of these in my house. I almost always have a pack or two in my car too, because the company donates supplies to local medical clinics and homeless shelters and it is my job to do the deliveries. Now here’s my story:

My brother was panicking; literally shaking as he started scooping water with a tiny little pail he found in my daughter’s toy box. I looked at all that water and it took me 30 seconds or so, but my mind finally made the connection that it should have made right away: Adult Diapers. I retrieved a pack from our minivan. Everyone grabbed two or three and started immersing those puppies in the water. Adult Diapers have a special compound in them that can absorb up to thirty times their own weight in fluid. It worked like gangbusters. If you have never seen how much water an adult diaper can absorb and how quickly it can do the absorbing, then you simply do not know what an astonishing modern miracle these things are. Eight adult diapers soaked up almost all that water in about 40 seconds! A few paper towels got the remaining drops that were left and we all got our hair dryers out and finished up just before Dad arrived in his other vehicle – an old pickup.
So if you own a convertible, keep your top up when traveling through southern states. And if you want to prepare for the worst that can happen, keep a few adult diapers tucked away in the trunk or luggage compartment. If your wife or girlfriend finds these panties in your car, you’ll have a good story to tell.
