      All the trees would have then been stripped. Creating a fake autumn. This would have then offset the balance of the seasons. Once seasons are out of balance, crops will die because they were planted for specific circumstances.
      Migration patterns will be messed up.
      And basically, the world would crumble. All due to leaves being used for toilet paper.

For one, he has sound advice for even now (instead of saying how unlikely it was going to happen, he listened and showed you much more of what is important to know for "if" it did happen). Two, he joked with you as much as you joked with him. Three, the both of you got the best of eachother. And four, it was a joy to watch you two interact while you learned from one another.
    It made me laugh, and in turn it also made me pay attention to the details in what he was telling you, and even what he wasn't telling you.... until seconds later. But that was pleasant to watch. Thank you for sharing this

      Sad thing was, at least for the US, we were one of the most prepared countries in the world. We even have the CDC, the most powerful disease control organization in the world, as well as multiple other smaller organizations that constantly advise the president on diseases, and studies their spread. We had plans for just about any kind of situation, including even the President dying of the disease, yet all of those plans assumed that the president would support their actions, or at the very least not obstruct them.
      Literally minutes after one of the first major actions taken by the CDC, recommending the public wear masks, the president immediately announced he wouldn't wear one, and that it was "just a recommendation, not a mandate."
      One of the worst things, I'd say, was when Trump decided to get another doctor to "counter" Fauci. He got a neurosurgeon to advise him on the pandemic. While I don't doubt the guy is good at performing brain surgery, I don't know what he's doing advising about a pandemic. It almost just seems like he went "what's a smart-sounding doctor? Oh, a brain surgeon!" That's like asking a state tax lawyer to fly to a different state to handle a murder trial! Or even the other way around! It's not his speciality, if he even did study any epidemiology it would have been in school, 30+ years ago.

    A towel is about the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound across the cold moons of Jaglan Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapours; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kakrafoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for use in hand-to-hand-combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (such a mind-bogglingly stupid animal, it assumes that if you can't see it, it can't see you); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.
    More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: non-hitch hiker) discovers that a hitch hiker has his towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, face flannel, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet weather gear, space suit etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitch hiker any of these or a dozen other items that the hitch hiker might accidentally have "lost." What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through, and still knows where his towel is, is clearly a man to be reckoned with.
    Hence a phrase that has passed into hitchhiking slang, as in "Hey, you sass that hoopy Ford Prefect? There's a frood who really knows where his towel is."
