Ordinarily, you know the most sound advice is to not panic, but you're hundreds of miles from your home with no towel; what else could you possibly do? You begin to panic, screaming and crying until your head is pounding. You use that as a cue to panic more, scream louder, cry harder. Your heart is pounding, barely able to keep up with your fury. Soon enough, it can't keep up and you start having strokes and heart attacks from your lack of a towel.
