What if ants discovered the joys of waterproof sealant?

'Looks like the ants are gearing up for rain', commented Jennifer, munching a bit of toast and vegemite. 'Building their little towers.'

'Yah', I commented absently, tik-takking away at a short story I was writing. A thought struck me. 'Wouldn't it be funny if someone taught them how to make proper waterproof ones?'

Jennifer watched out the window as a tube of silicone sealant glide sedately out of the garage and across the back yard, carried by thousands of little bugs.

'Uh huh,' she responded and took a sip of tea. 'Don't forget your toast,' she reminded me.
