Towels make me less wet after showers.

I'm bringing my towel to an amusement park today.  Should be fun.


Other uses for towels according to Douglas Adams himself:

A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitch hiker can have. Partly it has great practical value - you can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a mini raft down the slow heavy river Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or to avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mindboggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you - daft as a bush, but very, very ravenous); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.

More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: non-hitch hiker) discovers that a hitch hiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, face flannel, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet weather gear, space suit etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitch hiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitch hiker might accidentally have "lost". What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still knows where his towel is is clearly a man to be reckoned with.

Sounds interesting. Me and my friends are going to the mall later today (Hopefully I'm coming, I'm at my Grandma's house an hour away ;-; ), and we're bringing towels :P

Interesting. I shall bring my Super Mario Sunshine towel! :P

O_o towel day?  Wierd.

But, nevertheless, there is a pirate day, so why not?

I have a favorite red towel I use after taking showers.

Wow.  That's amazing.

Now that I think about it, a towel can be a very useful thing.

This reminds me that I need to read the book, since I loved the movie.

The book is at least twenty times better than the movie.

The movie made minimal sense to me, as I was sick and drifting in and out of consciousness, not to mention that it's a wierd movie without that.
...
By the time it was done, I had a headache.

And what the hell is towel day?
