When is Towel Day?

Towel Day, observed annually by Douglas Adams' fans, honors the author of the author's most well-known for his book The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

TOWEL DAY | May 25

According to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, "a towel is about the most useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have."

And that's incredibly important. And for several very useful uses, even we mere Earthly hitchhikers need towels. We dry our furry animals and roll towels in neat rows. They ease the kinks in our necks on long trips. Also our tiny humans use them to cool down after going for a dive. However, perhaps not very well. On a sunny day, it can also provide shade on a sunny day.

We've found that towels in small sizes are also effective for sport. They are used by golfers and bowlers. In a war to surrender, add a small towel to a footballer's hip and call it a flag or wave a white one.

A towel can stop bleeding or carry the wounded in an emergency. It also helps to reduce a fever. On a cool day, wrap it around you. Wash a car or wipe up the oil. For a toga party, a really large towel might be all that would be needed. However, in reality, it probably wouldn't. However, it probably wouldn't have to.
