We Really Hope That’s Just Dry Humor

My wife and I are talking to another couple at a house party about travel plans in the coming year.

Me: “We were thinking about going to Las Vegas as it’s always somewhere I’ve been curious about.”

Friend Husband: “We’ve been there! It’s fun, but don’t go during the summer. The humidity is crazy.”

Me: “Humidity? Really? But it’s so dry there.”

Friend Husband: “Yeah, it’s a dry humidity.”

My wife and I share a look. The wife of the other couple changes subjects and then ushers him away. Later, she finds us alone.

Friend Wife: “Yeah, he thinks humidity means heat. Doesn’t matter what I say, or what Google says, or what our son, who is a f****** meteorologist, says, he’s dying on that hill. Anyway, have fun in Vegas!”
