getDigitalBath Towel 42 Do Not Panic - Large Beach Towel for Fans of Douglas Adams Books - 70 x 140 cm, 100% Cotton

This towel is just about the most massively useful thing any interstellar Hitchhiker can carry. 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 vapours; 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 you can dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.More importantly, this towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: nonhitchhiker) discovers that a hitchhiker has this 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 etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitchhiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitchhiker might accidentally 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 knows where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with.Hence a phrase which has passed into hitch hiking slang, as in "Hey, you sass that hoopy Ford Prefect? There's a frood who really knows where his towel is."

Loved it.

Hey, sass that hoopy Jeff Davies, there's a frood who really knows where his towel is.That's what they'll be saying on May 25th when mine will be up in the window of my house, or in the back window of my car if I'm driving.Great quality

good.....what it says on the tin...

Bought for a wedding present for hitchhiker fans they loved it. Good value and delivered promptly

Both key messages and a towel

Very good quality

Very thin towel. Disappointing

I've ordered several towels to folks who turned 42 and they have all enjoyed this galactic gift. Super idea with great quality.

Schönes Badehandtuch, fasst sich gut an, zur Qualität und Haltbarkeit kann ich noch nichts sagen

Morbido e fatto molto bene!

Gave this to my son for his birthday, after he read and loved Hitchhiker's. Well made, thick. So fun. Remember, "A towel, is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have”...
