Enjoy!!

A Boeing 777 was en route and climbing to its final cruise altitude. Shortly after reaching this altitude a passenger reported that water was dripping on top of him, and not only him, but a group of about 10 passengers in the same area of the plane. The cabin crew saw the flow of water drops from the air conditioning system, and that it wasn’t stopping. They told the captain, who decided to return to their airport of origin for passenger comfort reasons.
