First, the knife ... or, Why belt & suspenders? answered

This is a non-serious post. No politics. No angst. No kitty pictures -- except the icon.

Pocketstuff ...

get up, get dressed, and stuff goes into my pockets, in this order:

pants pockets

Swiss army knife
keys (house, my car, Rolanni's car, office (office and office PO box), SRM PO box, other)
cellphone
mini cardcase
random change
(sometimes eyeglasses)
(often when traveling, pocket nail clipper)
my "pocket watch" which actually is attached to a belt loop
wallet

(when traveling away from home with cargo pants I'll add a cheese stick or cheese crackers, a nutritional apple or blueberry bar, and mini flashlight)

shirt

pen, at least one
(sometimes) glasses, depending in above
(sometimes) small pad or note cards

Yes, that's why I often wear "workman's" broad suspenders

And keys wear holes in my jeans pocket. Iron-on patches are good.

There are, of course, many sizes of swiss army knife, but I'm assuming this is something with a usefully-sized blade and thus probably quite weighty. :)

I'll cop to keys, wallet, random change, mobile phone and space pen as my basics and what'll fit comfortably in jeans. If I have a good reason I have a range of pocket knives that'll fit in a front pocket, but round here it's best not to carry any kind of knife without a damn good reason in mind. 'Useful' doesn't always cut it with Mr Plod. :(
