Koohii stories:

1) [astridtops] 21-9-2006(44): In the forest fire, they doused the trees with water to prevent more damage.

2) [Peppi] 14-5-2009(9): You use water to irrigate (#2079 沃) saplings. When it has become a tree, you need more. Then you have to douse it.

3) [blannk] 23-1-2010(6): We doused the trees with water to prevent a forest fire. To disambiguate douse & 渥 moisten (#2320 渥) recall that had we doused the trees properly in the first place we might not have had to moisten the roof later.

4) [mcfate] 12-10-2007(5): Pun alert: dowsing is the use of a divining rod (usually a tree's forked branch), to find water. Dowse is also a legitimate alternative spelling for "douse" – after you find the water you can douse the tree with it.

5) [kumakuma] 19-11-2008(3): Douse your WOOD in cold WATER if you are contstantly horny.
