Whacky...
At a fancy restaurant once, I told our friend I was going to tell the wine stewart, (yes, this was a fancy place) "hey, if that's wine, where's the brown paper sack?" She forbid me to say that, I guess my humor was too dry.

Wet or Dry....
really does not matter. It only took three hot chocolates with baileys to knock me on my ass during our recent camping trip

Whacky, even without getting into drinks with alcohol, our Canada Dry
Ginger Ale is very tart..certainly far from sweet..its great if you have a stomach ache and need to get fluid into your system..
Hey, Naut, you have my curiosity as to what Canadian gin you're referring to..(if you see this and have a minute, email me..there's one gin I got quite familiar with as a result of working for a distillery so many years..

At the risk of insulting your friend, I must tell you that he's all wet! You see, one of the few things I know anything about is booze. And a dry martini, and especially a Dry Martini, is
never sweet! Sweetness doesn't enter into it at
all, period! A sweet Martini isn't a Martini but an abomination! A Dry Martini is gin (or vodka, though I prefer gin, because I think vodka should be drunk out of tumblers, straight, rather than out of martini glasses) and a smidgen of dry vermouth, preferably Noilly Prat. If you add a large smidgen, it's a Martini. If it's a small smidgen, it's a Dry Martini. If it's barely more than a drop, it's an Extra Dry Martini! Shaken with ice. No sweetness in sight anywhere! And the only good gin comes from the Sceptred Isle, with the exception of one Canadian brand, that shall remain unnamed, however...

I had a patient once that watered the plastic plants in her room. She loved flowers but because of health reasons she could not have real ones so she watered the plastic ones.

Whacky,
I've always wondered what a "dry" martini (or dry whatever) meant. I mean, liquid is wet, right? The one thing I could never understand is a drink when they put the salt around the rim of the glass. Eeeww! Why not just gimmie a glass of sea water with a twist.

Dry drinks leave you feeling dry in the mouth, maybe in the pockets too!
