    Dorothy : How can you talk if you haven't got a brain?
    Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
    Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.

          Just curious... why would rain cause an ammonia spike in the first place?
          I never did figure that out...

              I think what they are referring to is that water company's add more chloramine to our water supply's after rainfall.

                      I think you're right, more chloramines are used to treat the water and chloramines contain ammonia. I'm not sure but i think you'd be able to also tell this by a stronger smell in the water.
