A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan BetaâŠwet it for use in hand-to-hand combatâŠwrap it around your head to ward off noxious fumesâŠany man who can hitch the length and breadth of the Galaxy, rough it ⊠win through, and still know where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with.
Douglas Adams, The Hitchhikerâs Guide to the Galaxy (via stellevatum)
