A towel is the most useful thing a hitchhiker can have from "summary" of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams
A towel, it must be said, is quite simply the most versatile and indispensable item that any hitchhiker can possess. Now, you might be wondering why a simple piece of cloth would hold such significance in the vast expanse of the universe. Allow me to elucidate. First and foremost, a towel has immense practicality when it comes to basic hygiene. In a galaxy teeming with unknown dangers and questionable cleanliness standards, a towel can serve as a makeshift bath mat, a barrier between oneself and unsavory surfaces, or even a rudimentary towel rack. The ability to maintain a modicum of cleanliness in the face of uncertainty is a luxury that should not be underestimated. Moreover, a towel boasts a multitude of uses beyond the realm of personal upkeep. Need to shield yourself from the harsh rays of a distant sun? A towel can double as a makeshift sunshade. Caught in an unexpected downpour on a foreign planet? A towel can serve as a makeshift umbrella. Stranded in the vacuum of space without a functioning spacecraft? Well, a towel might not be able to save you from that particular predicament, but it can certainly provide a modicum of comfort in your final moments.- A hitchhiker without a towel is akin to a fish without water - ill-prepared for the trials and tribulations of the universe. So, the next time you find yourself adrift in the vast expanse of space, remember the sage advice of the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: always know where your towel is. After all, you never know when you might need it.
