Koohii stories:
1) [rgravina] 13-10-2006(199): You first wash you clothes with water and wring them until they are just damp before hanging them in a row under the sun to dry. If you don't wring them damp first they will take days to dry!
2) [Raichu] 20-6-2007(53): When your things are damp, you line them up in a row under the sun.
3) [matticus] 9-12-2006(28): An image: a shirt hangs on the oars of an old rowboat. Though it is slowly being dried by the sun high above, the occasional drops of water from it indicate that it is still damp.
4) [chibimizuno] 16-9-2009(11): I'll bet most of us have had this experience at a water park… You are gazing at the water hungrily while standing under the hot sun, waiting in a long row to get on the water slide. By the time it's your turn, you've been under the sun so long that you're not even all that wet anymore - just a little bit damp.
5) [radical_tyro] 14-7-2007(9): The row of penguins find themselves in the front row, right under the sun. It's very hot, so they spray themselves with cool water. This of course makes the entire theatre very damp!
