What gets wetter the more it dries?

A Towel!

Instant Classic

Did You Know?

The joke works because "dries" has a double meaning — the towel dries YOU while getting wetter itself! Ancient Romans used olive oil and a metal scraper called a strigil instead of towels. The modern terry cloth towel wasn't invented until 1848 in Turkey, where the looped fabric proved perfect for absorption.
