    Wet People

    While hanging laundry to dry this morning, I had a sudden flash of insight into a parallel dimension very close in frequency to ours. The inhabitants are indistinguishable from us here in our dimension, save for what we would consider one very peculiar difference.

    See in this one the people don't like to wear dry clothes, they wear their clothes wet. That's right, they like them soaking, dripping, wet... Why they would absolutely *shudder* at the mere thought of slipping on a nice comfy pair of warm and dry jammies, much as we wouldn't dream of putting on cold wet ones.

    They do hang their clothes out on a line much the same as we do, only it's a little more complicated. Every house has horse trough looking vats full of gently flowing purified water, and clothes are carefully hung inside of these to stay wet and disentangled. When you're ready for a fresh change of clothes, you simply pull your garments out of the water, put them on, and off you go.

    In case you're wondering, there's no need to have worry of evaporation on those occasional nasty sunny and dry days in this wet dimension. Nobody would dare be caught out without a full 1/2 gallon emergency squirt bottle to re-hydrate, much as we use an umbrella to fend off the rain.

    Just thought ya'll should know we have neighbors. Next time you step over a puddle or grab a bath towel, think of them

    A portable half gallon would get heavy, eh?

    If you always want to be wet you might be related to whales or dolphins, newts or salamanders.

    Is your imagination telling you that return (because MAYBE even in THIS parallel we came form the sea) to the seas is the salty solution?

    LOL, good one Blufire!

    Nah, those mushrooms will be out in the cow field come summer. I didn't see any category called "Humor", but wanted to share a bit of my sometimes warped version of it to kick off the new year.


    Cheers

    That's because we can be funny everywhere, in good time and place. But the Off-Topic category certainly lends itself to humorous threads.

    Hope they don't suffer from cramps and arthritis like I do! Though have just discovered if you're interested that sesame paste stops the pain (it's full of copper.)

    Well you're definitely not all wet, Fred.

    Zappa warned us...



    When I googled "wet people" your image came up, Fred.
