A quick wipe and a blow and carry on.

Not sure how you manage to drop plugs into buckets of water during your bedroom gymnastic activities

Replace the water with salt water.

The salt kills the electricity and will protect you.

Even if he does plug it in, all that will happen is that there will be a small bang and the circuit breaker will trip out. Then he might have to put a new plug on it perhaps. Where I used to work the lights cut out on a damp morning, so the trick was to hold the breaker "on" and the electric going through the circuit dried it all out so it wasnt a problem

Did you work for 'Emsman Electrical Ltd.' by any chance?

Water is a good conductor of electricity

Even if ti is still wet, about the worst that's likely to happen is that you blow a fuse or trip the mains circuit.

The stuff that comes out of the tap isn't bad. Quite a lot better than air, anyway.

Material - Electrical Conductivity (S/m-1)
Drinking Water - 0.0005 to 0.05
Air - 0.000000000000008 to.. (wait for it) 0.3

So drinking water can be less conductive than air..

For reference Sea water is ~ 4.8 and Copper is 56900000 S/m-1

Well I'm still alive, the iron is hot and the lights still work!
