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.


Not really, I have quite short hair and I can still do it.

Taking into account the name of the nation, that would be my thought as well.

You CAN do it.. but there isn't really a need to. Maybe I worded my post wrong by saying "but" instead of "so". Whoops.

I have tons of towels, big thirsty ones, all colors.

That way I hardly ever have to wash any of them.

And I don't think Iranians wear the head-gear all that much, it's mostly an Arab thing, isn't it? Not that Ann the Fearless Defender of the Faith is afraid of such a silly thing as a generalization.

Oh, we have lots. Herself wears one on her head after a shower but I don't. I like new towels, when they're soft and absorbent.

Reminds me of a Dilbert, Wally says at lunch, "I never wash my towels. Think about it, I they only come in contact with my body when I get out of the shower, when I'm as clean as I can possibly be, so how could the towels need washing?"

I believe last count left us with 6 bath towels, 2 small towels (which really double as bathmats) and 5 face cloths... not that I ever use a different towel. I love my black towel.

Is there any other kind?

Given the name of the OP, that is the only rational conclusion.

i honestly don't know how many their are in the house. no i do not wear anything on my head, but i do think it looks pretty cool the people who do, for whatever reasons of culture or belief they do so.

i'm afraid i don't see any connection between towels and headgear.

while i've seen a fair number of people wearing cloth wrapping type headgear, generally referred to as turbans, i don't know as i've ever seen a towel or towel type material used in this capacity.

we do seem to have a large number of such items as towels and wash cloths, a large percentage of them approaching the end of their useful lives. i haven't bothered to attempt to count their numbers and have too much now to do to take time to hunt down all the various places where every last one of them might be to do so.
truth isn't what i say. isn't what you say. isn't what anybody says. truth is what is there, when no one is saying anything.

I never go anywhere without my wonderful towel.

Seriously maybe half a dozen.

I don't know. Half a dozen? A dozen? Does anyone actually KNOW how many they have?

I'm disappointed it turned out to NOT be a Hitch-hiker question. I know where my towel is.
