Pondering the Impossible

It rained again today. I had to go and finish up my time sheet at work. Plus I had a CS review session. My umbrella was jacked up. I bought a new one, paying $12 at the Cal Student Store, a.k.a., Exploitation Central. Getting to the Student Store however, I got rained on. My hair got wet. It had gel in it. That got me thinking, why don't they make gel waterproof, because anytime anyone goes out in the rain, it will just leak down their face and burn their eyes (unless of course thousands of innocent animals had to have that happen to them, so humans wouldn't).

Then I thought, what if gel was waterproof, wouldn't that mean that water couldn't wash it out? A better name for this would be GLUE. Then a few minutes later, I realized, wait, I think my gel IS waterproof. And yet it comes out with water. Damn if I'll ever know why though. I'm not a chemist.
