I own one that says "DON'T PANIC". Does that help?
"I was walking along the bank of a stream when I saw a mother otter with her cubs. A very endearing sight, and as I watched, the mother otter dived into the water and came up with a plump salmon, which she subdued and dragged on to a half-submerged log. As she ate it, while of course it was still alive, the body split and I remember to this day the sweet pinkness of its roes as they spilled out, much to the delight of the baby otters who scrambled over themselves to feed on the delicacy. One of nature’s wonders: mother and children dining upon mother and children. And that’s when I first learned about evil. It is built in to the very nature of the universe. If there is any kind of supreme being, I told myself, it is up to all of us to become his moral superior."

Is this an attempt to illicit an angry response from people living in predominantly Muslim countries? That's what it seems like.

First thing I thought about was the Hitchhiker's Guide. Besides, muslims don't wear towels on their heads, women do, after they just washed their hair.

EDIT: I own many towels, though none as cool or handy as the face/butt one.

The slur Towel Head is often used by people prejudiced against Muslim and Arabic people. The OP seems like a troll to me.

I own too many towels to count. And I wear them on my head after I finish taking a shower. :)

The OP is also showing some ignorance, Ann Coulter called Ahmadinejad a raghead, not a towelhead.

The OP is a tragic example of what can happen when the final brain cell and humour neuron conclude a suicide pact to finally escape the bleak and lonely world in the empty space between the ears.

How do women wrap towels around their heads after they get out of the shower? :eyebrow:

So that we can dry our hair.
How else would we do it, without electronic hair dryers? What do YOU do? :blink:

You just get the towel, and WRAP it around your head... How would it NOT stay up there?
EDIT: You should get a turbie-twist. If somehow it won't stay up there for you.. >_> Assuming you have long hair.

Well you wouldn't really need to wrap the towel around your head to dry it if you DIDN'T have long hair.. but yes, it kind of is.
