Yes, but it's still WET you stupid bint!

I was reading Cloud Atlas on the shuttle home from work. Suddenly, the young woman dressed to go out across the aisle drops a lime-green soda can and something splashes my left side. I check to see how bad the damage is. She notices and tells me:

"Don't worry; it's clear."

She glances guiltily toward the driver, declines to do anything about the sticky puddle in the middle of the aisle, and goes back to gabbing with the woman seated behind her.
