25 May is [Towel Day](http://www.towelday.kojv.net/?frood)!  
I may have to stop after work and order a Gargleblaster, while I’m at it.

You all know what to do.

Mine is still at my desk at work, where I placed it last Towel Day.

I continue to be amazed at the number of people who see it and very carefully \*don’t \*say anything.

I keep my towel with me at all times, in case I am in need of essential nutrients. I once tripped over one end of it. I missed the ground and found myself flying. This came to an abrupt end when I was hit in the small of my back by a party.

Don’t you think digital watches are pretty neat?

I shall spend the day worrying about little green piece of paper.

So long and thanks for all the fish!

Errr…you don’t go to work that way I hope? Sound like something out of Oz.

I didn’t realize there was a towel day. Of course I know where my towel is. At the moment it’s in the wash. Do you think I can get it in the dryer before the Volgons come?
