What’s worse than getting caught in the rain? Having to endure the awkward moment when you, bone dry and under your umbrella, must walk past an unfortunate soul who has forgotten his or her own!
There’s a terrific opportunity for April altruism here.
Play the part of the silent hero (bonus points if you have a trench coat) and use the opportunity to hand-out a poncho. Stock your purse with some inexpensive “emergency” solutions and pass them out when you happen to catch someone up the creek without a poncho. (You can find them at many drugstores for under a dollar!)
If you want to go the extra mile, you can customize the labels with fun and inspiring messages. We included a few “Poncho Printable” templates and instructions here to help get you started. But feel free to customize with your own unique words of encouragement!
Here are a few ideas:
· Real men wear ponchos.
· Congratulations! You’ve had a “stroke” of luck!
· Throw ponchos, not punches!
· Went to work without an umbrella and all you got was this lousy poncho…
· Today, you’re the head poncho!
· Umbrellas are overrated.
· Free recyclable shower curtain.
· Well, the rain dance worked.
· Don’t worry. This doesn’t legally obligate you to join my cult.
· Hey Rain Man, don’t be a hero.
