All Wet!

 I'm not exactly wet behind the ears but I'm ashamed to say I swallowed hook line and sinker the claim that the  cliche 'wet one's whistle' originated with the belief that if one had difficulty whistling, he should try wetting his lips. Since I'm not a good whistler I thought that wetting my whistle while sitting by the pool was worth a try. Even after six beers I couldn’t whistle. Eventually the well ran dry throwing a wet blanket on the whole ordeal. To top it all off, I fell into the pool and got wet to the skin. The lesson here is that cliches can be all wet and should be avoided while sitting by the pool.
