@BPGlobalPR, on the infamous social networking site Twitter, has now become a staple of almost 150,000 fellow Tweeters and they are making their way into conventional media because of it, with @BPTerry (a spoof BP marketing director) appearing in an interview here, and Leroy Stick (the alias of the man directly behind @BPGlobalPR) giving this exposé. Though something makes me suspect they are in fact the same person…
So, is it too soon to make jokes yet? Well no, not for this guy(s)!
Nine years and two weeks to the day and only this morning do I discover a wonderful phenomenon! A day that – all around the universe, wherever they go – people with a passion for humour celebrate by carrying a towel. To work, to the shops, on the bus, into school, out on treasure hunts – they carry around this sign of nomadic freedom and preparedness for unpredictability. There are parties and treasure hunts, and the only requirement and dress code is that you bring your trusty towel!
Why?
International Towel Day!
