CAN WE DO IT? LET'S GET TO 1001 USES! Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy A towel is about the most massively useful thing an intersteller 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 (a mind-bogglingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you -- daft as a brush, but very very ravenous); 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. So let's come up with new and cretive uses for towels! I'll start Wiping snow off the bench at the bus stop and giving you a dry place to sit Please number each use so we can keep track

use 5:
You could shove it down your sibling's throat so (s)he can't make any stupid insults...
use 6:
You could cut it up and use as a mat to frame pictures.
use 7:
When you've been hitchhiking too long and you're getting quite sweaty and smelly, you can shove it under your armpits.
