Earlier today, Joe sent a link to Nerd Approved and a post that they had done about the Retractable Towel previously featured on Joe’s site…

Can you just imagine the light bulb that went off when the guy with really sweaty palms realized that it would be just as easy to attach a towel to his retractable keyring as it was to attach his keys? Now don’t get me wrong; I can see where a bartender or a golfer might want this, but who else would need a hand towel attached to their hip?
The cool thing was that in the process of showing me this rather user-specific item, Joe exposed me to a site I had never before visited, and which I rather enjoyed perusing. If you haven’t yet checked out Nerd Approved, then do! Where else can you learn about the T-Bone Steak Meat Cuddler, the “Kids Be Gone” Teen Repellent, or Moonlight Mushrooms?
Go take a look, you know you wanna!

Germophobes?
Seriously, I once worked in a small office with a shared toilet and a new guy started work there and wanted to bring his own towel in. I pointed out to him that if he left it in there, he’d have no way of knowing if other people used it. He didn’t stay very long.

Someone like that might just need their own decanter of antibacterial hand jelly and disposable paper towels, I think.
