Unlike the media the owners of proper mackintoshes love above average rainfall.
The media, huddled in their stupid short anoraks, do not realise that a proper mackintosh gives the owner complete independence from the weather.
Rain plus mackintosh is to be enjoyed as much as the sun. Einstein might express it as R + M = E (Where E = Enjoyment)
Now we all know that one does not need rain to enjoy one's mackintosh so the “R” drops out of the equation so we are left with M = E.
Now the “M” is not strictly accurate as it should be a function of the mac and cloth and rubber (C) – so M should really be expressed as MC.
We all know that the more rubber in a mac the more enjoyable it is so the "C" should be squared thus "C squared". The equation then becomes "E = M C squared" which the great man proved years ago and we all know how true it is!

PS Further thoughts.
A more elegant derivation could be E = MC where E = Enjoyment, M = Mackintosh and C = Caoutchouc (or Rubber)
Enjoyment is obviously proportional to the square of the rubber content so E = MC Squared.

G's symbols have sent Andy all algebraic himself:
Where x = fastened buttons, u = unfastened buttons, s = susurrus, y = spattering raindrops, r = rubberisation, t = tingling, z = coat owner’s nimble fingers & z2 are someone else’s nimble fingers. The following is true. In addition, students should consider these other variables; f = a thing called “frustration” & w = “wriggling”.
u + z = x if y prevails, & when y doesn’t prevail too in the land of the Mac devotee .
u + z2 = t & then x
y normally necessitates a function of z & u, or z2 & u…….until x finally prevails
When z (or z2) + u = x, s will often be present in some amount.
u + r often leads to large quantities of s – particularly in gale force conditions.
s tends to increase as y does.
s is greater than y when r is present, unless y has a high decibel value.
When u is present, an increase in y often results in a higher value of s, particularly when r is present & z (or z2) begins combining with u to result in x.
When f is present in z2 due to the length of time taken by z2 to complete the equation u+z2 = t & then x, then t tends to have a higher value proportionate to the length of time z2 operates. When t reaches a certain level, both f & w can apply, so therefore…
u + z2 + f = (t + w) & then x, when x is only reached “eventually.”
On this occasion the left side of the equation belongs to those doing the fastening & the right hand side to those being fastened.
With Sausage Finger Syndrome…
u + r + y + s + (the inverse of z) = f
When this happens z2 is often inserted into the equation with this result…
u + r2 + y + s2 + (z2 x f) = w + t. In the end, with perseverance from z2, large amounts of w + t can still lead to x being achieved, often with more fun than when you do this on a blackboard…
Readers should note that in this instance r2 & s2 only become squared when both z & z2 are close to significant quantities of r.
And the moral of the story is that everyone should fasten their coats up or find someone else to help.

Me, it all makes me fancy nice cup of t.
