... as they say in MacDonalds. I knew, when I woke up this morning, that this was some sort of special day; a holiday of some sort. And then I remembered.
It's towel day! And it's being celebrated throughout the world. What are you doing to celebrate towel day? Here's the original quote from chapter three:
A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker 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 vapors; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft 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 avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-boggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you); 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.
Evidently, in some parts of the world, the population are enjoying another holiday. Apparently today is also Star Trek day. So whatever holiday you are enjoying today, have fun!
