Pro tip: if you’re going to shower at the gym make sure you have a towel BEFORE you get all wet
Alternative pro tip: forget to go to the gym, have towel
Just because:
A towel, [The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy] 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 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 (such a mind-boggingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can’t see it, it can’t see you); 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.

There’s a frood who really knows where his towel is.
A hoopy frood
Hey, you sass that hoopy limer?
Everybody beat me to it. So long!
…and thanks for all the fish 😜 🐬🐬🐬
The first useful thing we invented was the pointed stick.
Second was string.
Third the towel.
The towel hits a sweet spot. It’s got development history. It’s got archetypal grounding. It’s the Zeus of inventions.
Only 116 days until Towel Day
Make sure you remember your lock combo before locking your belongings up when you take a shower. I came back to my locker and couldn’t open it once. No phone, no glasses, just flip flops in a towel. Not a fun experience. Thankfully I remembered the code before too embarrassingly long.
I’ve forgotton a towel when I went swimming before. Ended up using my shirt as a towel and dressing in just my sweater.
Yeah I ended up using gym t shirt that was fairly clean since I didn’t do cardio. It all worked out in the end
You trained without a towel?
Yeah, I don’t really sweat when I lift. If I’m doing cardio I’ll bring a little sweat towel with me
I’ve done that before. It sucked cause it was also 14°F out. So I had to drive home in the cold while wet.
Did you drive naked?
No, but I did go in shorts and a t shirt. So I had to leave in those clothes too.
Maybe you could squeegee yourself on the funky floor tiles
Wanna go get hiiiiiiiigh?
This is a Facebook thought imo
I don’t have Facebook though. And I was all wet. Seemed appropriate
I don’t think 90% of the people who post on this comm have any idea how Showerthoughts works.
