Yes, Towel Day, a day celebrating the life of one of the world's greatest authors, Douglas Adams. Towel day was established two weeks after Douglas' death so that all his fans may forever remember him in his greatest lesson: the usage of a towel. So, in remembrance of Douglas, every year, on May the twenty fifth, we strive to remember him through these towels, these banners of our love for him. Please facepunch, I beg of you, remember Douglas, remember his words and his lessons, and let the world remember him again tomorrow.
And now I leave you with the words that have strongly encouraged this day.
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy has a few things to say on the subject of towels.
A towel, it says, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar 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 Jagalan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heavy 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 around your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Bugblatter Beast of Trall (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.
More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: non-hitchhiker) discovers that a hitchhiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, washcloth, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet-weather gear, space suit ect., ect. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitchhiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitchhiker might accidently have “lost.” What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the Galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through and still know where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with.

I'd rather not
Douglas Adams is great. I would totally carry a towel around with me everywhere though nobody would get the reference. Hell, you'd be lucky if they saw the (Okay) movie.
I was a towel in my previous life.
Awww. When is it tovle day ):

Never thought of a towel as so useful.
Will probably need one with this crap weather atm. Raining all day.
Today is Towel day huh... WELP, Good thing I always go around with USEFUL DRYING FABRICS in case of me getting wet. So I accidentally celebrate it all the time.

Goddamn it that was today
Oh no the day's just ending!
If I had known earlier I would've brought a towel to school.
Probably would've kept it in my bag to avoid looking like a retard as no one I know has read Douglas Adams, but it's the thought that counts anyway.
"Ford?"
"Yes?"
"I think i'm a sofa"
"I know how you feel"
