Koohii stories:

1) [ikmys] 15-5-2007(37): Before raging wildfires approach the town, homeowners will spray hose water on their roof to moisten the house as a preventative measure.

2) [astridtops] 2-1-2007(8): When it's very dry, I sometimes moisten the wooden beams on the roof with water so that they won't completely dry out and crack open.

3) [koohiikun] 26-8-2010(6): Obviously, water on a roof will moisten it.

4) [perrin4869] 26-4-2011(2): Remember the person hanging for dear life in frame grip (#1059 握)? Well, someone spilled water on his hands, moistening them, making him lose his grip from the roof, and falling to his death.

5) [gfb345] 23-4-2010(2): "Hurry up! I'm already beginning to MOISTEN", she says. "Actually, it feels almost as if drops of WATER are about to start sliding down my thigh any minute now!" This is all in anticipation of "doing it" on the ROOF… Life is good.
