Mnemonic Stories

A condom is a little umbrella designed for one body part. It has to be a perfect fit to be safe when you use it at the main entrance.

Under the massive corporate umbrella, thereโ€™s only one true entrance to the executive suite. You have to be a perfect cultural fit to get the key.

The truly depraved may find that thereโ€™s one entrance in their body that they can fit a whole umbrella in.

โ€œIโ€™m not sure itโ€™ll fit,โ€ she whispered, looking at the one massiveโ€ฆ itemโ€ฆ he wanted to bring through the back entrance. It was a golf umbrella and the door was tiny.
