Obviously, if you're inside (and married), this won't work as well...
Thought I was the only one who did something like this. I don't necessarily "fling" my pipe with any real force. But if I detect a gurgle, even a slight one, I turn the stem down and lightly tap the moisture out on my pant leg or in my palm and wipe it on my pants lol. I absolutely refused to need pipe cleaners to smoke my pipe. I use 1 cleaner per bowl and that's after the pipe is cool.
oh, and a nice cake helps absorb some moisture too.
