Towels are the most useful thing it is possible to have handy in a crisis. One of the first things that Ford Prefect did for Arthur Dent after the demolition of the Earth was to equip him with a towel.
They can be used for snaring birds whilst falling from a three-mile high marble statue.
They can be used to signal temporally unstable spaceships by fossilizing them in planetary strata.
They can be soaked in nutrients to provide sustenance in awkward situations (Although, as Zaphod Beeblebrox found, this is not a terribly tasty solution to hunger).
They can also do a really good job of drying between your toes.
The Hitchhiker's Guide is full of suggestions for successful towel deployment. It is worth noting that a cup of white vinegar in a wash will help keep your towels fluffy and soft.
In other words, they are the NEW Swiss Army Knife!!!

I seem to remember that the main reason for carrying a towel was that it would impress women by making a guy look like he knows what he's doing. Yes, the reasons as explained in the 1st book are silly and facetious, but I have to say the first 2 books of the series are almost the only books that have ever made me laugh out loud. I don't really recommend the later books, though, because Douglas Adams seemed to be sliding into depression or something...they got steadily more dark and unfunny, I thought.

I've been wondering the same thing. I think Derek should get chosen for Best Answer simply because his answers were so entertaining and in the tradition of the strangeness of the movie (which I LOVE!). I never read the books, though. Should probably do that.

You've got to read the books.
The movie didn't do much justice.
