I put on my clothes after a few moments idle in the shower without flow.

And I'm then glad to not be too hairy, as water will fall down alone.
(ok, I cheat, I use my hands too)

Then get in the car, turn on the fans, and drive for 86 miles.

I thought it was only cars that cost at least half a million pounds that 
have air conditioning in them? And that you wouldn't know anyone or ever 
have been in a car with air conditioning?

Hmm, wet + cold = hypothermia.

No thanks. :)

I once got caught in a Rain Storm. A friend and I road-tripped from 
Philadelphia to Washington DC. (About a 3-hour drive, for our foreign 
friends.) We parked on the street, went and looked at things, and by the 
time it was time to head home, it was Raining. With a capital R. I mean, we 
were looking for the car, and we couldn't find it, because there was quite 
literally so much water in the air between head height and street-sign 
height that one could not read the signs. We couldn't have been more wet had 
we been thrown a swimming pool. Our underwear was soaked. We stopped 
bothering to step over rain gutters because our shoes couldn't possibly get 
wetter.

After wandering about 20 minutes in this, we found the car. A big old 
Lincoln, like they made when gas was $0.35/gallon. Now, this was my mom's 
car at the time, which means my dad, the auto mechanic, had been maintaining 
it. Which means that when the heater switch broke, he installed a light 
switch in its place. There was no temperature knob. The heat was on, or off. 
Which meant that the interior of the car was about 90 degrees (that's 33C to 
the rest of you) in about 5 minutes. Toasty!

I still believe I'm alive today, 30 years later, due to that light switch 
under the dashboard. My friend still mentions it occasionally to this day.
