Sass that hoopy Ford Prefect? Now there’s a frood who knows where his towel is.

And you want to be like Ford, dontcha?

That’s right. You know you do. And tomorrow, you can.

(If I’ve just written a bunch of words that you can read but which appear to be just this side of gibberish, see the Wikipedia entries for towels and, particularly, for Towel Day.)
