guest towel quiz

Okay, pop quiz: You're my houseguest. You take a shower in my master bathroom, moving my shampoo and razor and rubber duckie around to accommodate god knows what. You're done now. You slide the shower curtain and survey your towel choices. You see a) a damp, disheveled towel right next to the shower and, next to that, b) a rack of clean, dry towels. Which do you use?
