Dampness in the Carpet

A flight attendant was on the red-eye to Manila when a water leak developed
in the galley, which eventually soaked the carpet throughout the cabin of the 747.
A very sleepy passenger who had become aware of the dampness asked the
attendant,
"Has it been raining?"
Keeping a straight face, the attendant replied,
"Yes, but we put the top up."
With a sigh of relief, the passenger went back to sleep.
