I celebrate towel day everyday. In fact I am wearing a towel now. No one even notices an old man in a towel unless of course he is downtown or at the mall. It is just assumed that you are coming or going to the bath. I currently have two Velcro fastened sarongs that are made from towels and they are quite comfortable for lounging around. One my family bought me and one I sewed up myself. They are nice towels as well. The one my family gave me was to replace the one I had worn since the 60's. Time flies.
I have known for years that I have an affinity (or maybe that's fetish) for terry cloth but until I read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy I did not know it was a survival tool. Makes me laugh every time I think of it.
Oh yes I will have my towel on "towel day".
