Today is Towel Day, in memory of the late great Douglas Adams. Now, some might call it cheating, but conveniently, today my office is also having a pool party and barbecue at my (former) boss's (former) frat house. So I kind of need to bring a towel for other than survival purposes.
But wait, before you jump to conclusions -- I have a towel with me whenever I have my backpack with me -- it even has it's own compartment in my backpack. If you don't believe me, read this tale in which I used my towel. It's also really useful when I need to blow my nose during long finals.
