Title: Rainy

David was out for a walk when it started to rain. He did not have an umbrella and he wasn't wearing a hat. His clothes were soaked, yet not a single hair on his head got wet. How could this happen?

Was Dave recently in a fire? Or perhaps he was a swimmer?

This was my thought - which is why I still ask the two questions above. I.e. How did the poor boy lose his eyebrows?

Sorry if this one was misleading.
And Icarus, what do you mean by the "swimmer" thing?

Some swimmers shave off all body hair outside of their suits, so as to decrease water resistance. If you ever watch Olympic swimming, you will often see guys without eyebrows.

Oh yeah that's right; wonder how well that works for them.
