Salary
The boss had listened in sympathetic silence as Mario went through the reasons why he needed, and felt he deserved, a raise. Then, with a compassionate smile, the CEO patted he younger man on the shoulder. "Yes, Mario," he said kindly, "I know you can't get married on the salary I'm paying you and some day you'll thank me for it."

Senz XL Windproof Umbrella With Aerodynamic Shape, Unique Eye-Savers, and Patented Frame to Withstand 70 MPH Winds - Available in 4 Color Options!
I don’t live in the best neighborhood. Practically every single day, I’m subjected to be an involuntary audience to a fight of some sort. Just yesterday, two 3-year-olds went at it concerning a dump-truck. And the day before, it was four girls fighting over something called a Barbie. It just pains me to see such conflict everywhere.
I’ve tried to do something about it, but after several attempts at explaining my role as world peacemaker, the neighborhood parents still refuse to let me into their homes. Maybe it’s because they don’t believe me after they’ve witnessed that weekly fight my umbrella and I have with the wind… But that’s really not my fault; the rain always starts it! Anyway, that’s irrelevant now ‘cuz I have an umbrella that is built to withstand anything that rainstorm wants to throw at us.
Features Include:
Turns itself into the best position in the wind
Plays with the wind instead of struggling with it
Unique eye-savers protect your eyes
Perfect view from under the umbrella
Umbrella does not go inside out
Patented frame withstands 70 MPH winds (100 km/h)
Opening mechanism integrated into the handle
Aerodynamic shape and oval shaft
Available in 4 color options – black, red, silver, and blue
