Laura Spira:
OK, chaps, this is getting boring now. If you're not careful, I'll start
listing what's in my handbag.
Sure, why not?
Shirt pocket:
* Other glasses.
* Often, a pen (normally a Flair felt-tip marker); sometimes more
than one.
* Small paper objects as applicable (transfer, shopping list, etc.).
Left front pocket:
* Attached together by a series of rings:
- Swiss Army knife (Victorinox, red: two knife blades, scissors,
nail file, pipe tool / screwdriver, toothpick, tweezers).
- The metal interior parts of a flat-type key case, with 5 keys
(house, shed, office, office building, safe deposit).
- Two miniature LED lights.
- A tiny suitcase key that probably gets used about once ever 5 years.
- A holder with up to 6 TTC tokens in it.
- If I rent a car, its key(s). (I used to attach hotel keys as well,
but these days they're usually cards on this continent, while
European ones tend to have an attachment that prevents it.)
* One hankie. (Two if I have a sniffle.)
Right front pocket:
* Wallet, containing:
- bills.
- coins.
- one ATM card, one credit card, driver's license, library card,
organ donor card. (4 plastic, 1 cardboard.)
- stuffed in behind the inadequate card section, a separate
plastic fanfold cardholder with another 12 or so cards (about
half plastic, including some that there really isn't any need
to carry every day, such as my LURS, NASM, and ACBL membership
cards, but what the heck) and some other small bits of paper.
In my previous wallet I used to carry a second token holder, but this
one doesn't have room, so it's moved into my briefacse.
Rear pockets normally empty, but when traveling I sometimes carry an
applicable language dictionary and/or a pocket guidebook to the city
I'm in.
(aue only: I'm sure those computer folklore people must be getting
bored, too)
Wrong, but *now* it is.
