Foonotes or no footnotes
My writing is greatly influenced by Terry Pratchett. As a result, I also often include many footnotes. Rereading The Hitchhicker's Guide to the Galaxy, it does not have to be the case though.
You just need to rephase a bit. Adam can smoothly end a paragraph with the towel, then start a long paragraph going off the rail about the towel, which concludes something that connects back to the paragraph before. It's really nicely done. But sure, you have to put in more work.
Beneath that in Ford Prefect's satchel were a few ballpoints, a notepad and a largish bath towel from Marks and Spencer.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has a few things to say on the subject of towels.
A towel it says, is abot the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have...
Hence a phrase that has passed into hitchhiking slang, as in "Hey, you sass that hoopy Ford Prefect? There's frood who really know where his towel is".

A, B and C
(Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy)
Bypasses are devices that allow some people to dash from point A to point B very fast while other people from point B to point A very fast. People living at point C, being a point directly in between, are often given to wonder what's so great about point A that so many people from point B are so keen to get there, and what's so great about point B that so many people from point A are so keen to get there. They often wish that people would just once and for all work out where the hell they wanted to be.
