If all those people are getting wet to welcome me, surely the least I can do is get wet too!

If all those people are getting wet to welcome me, surely the least I can do is get wet too!

If all those people are getting wet to welcome me, surely the least I can do is get wet too!

If all those people are getting wet to welcome me, surely the least I can do is get wet too!
