That observation would normally throw a wet blanket over everyone but no
one wants to hear about it. I will add that I always park under a tree
and stay dew-free and only my wife's car, parked in the open, gets covered
in dew.
So a) dew doesn't form on living humans and b) if it did, they could stop
it by sleeping under a tree.
