This has potential for a r/showerthoughts post. Maybe wet humor is NSFW humor? Haha

In this case, “dry” is not being used the way you think it is. Dry has many definitions, one of which is:

> marked by matter-of-fact, ironic, or terse manner of expression

Dry humor is humor that is matter-of-fact or terse, rather than “free or relatively free from a liquid” (one of the other definitions). Just like how “blue” can mean the color _or_ the feeling of sadness, dry can mean different things depending on context.
