Better Than Towels

They say a towel is the most important thing you can bring with you when you travel. I disagree. I say a pillow is more important.

Consider this… where ever you go, you’ll always have a place to rest your head. Pillows will naturally come with pillow cases, which are extremely useful for bagging snakes and substituting as the revered towel. It even does a great job flagging down passing spaceships.

You should never underestimate the power of a pillow. That braggart knight sure did, until I beat the.. uh… stuffings out of him with my pillow. I proceeded to suffocate him with it, then rob him blind and bagged everything in the trusty pillow case. The pillow suffered in the skirmish and was leaking goose down when I set up camp that night.

But that’s all right. When I get to the next village, I will buy myself another pillow (and pillow cases too) before I set off on another adventure. I hear that the prospects are good over in the next planet. I’ll flag down a spaceship.
