What's in your pockets?
 
What does Bush keep in his pockets?
Quote:

WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Bush may be burdened with the world's problems, but his pockets are pretty light.

It turns out the leader of the free world doesn't have to worry about carrying all the essentials of the common man.

Bush revealed the contents of his pockets Tuesday to an Argentine newspaper reporter who was interviewing him in advance of a presidential trip to Latin America later this week.

When the reporter from La Nacion asked Bush to show him what he carries, the president stood up, fished in his pockets, then dramatically pulled his hands out holding nothing but a white handkerchief that he waved playfully in the air.

"Es todo," Bush told the Spanish-speaking reporter, meaning the handkerchief was all. "No dinero, no mas. No wallet."

He doesn't need any cash, since his staff takes care of buying anything he might need. He carries no cell phone, either, since he is surrounded by aides who take care of dialing his calls. And why would he need keys since every door is held open for him and his car comes with a driver trained by the Secret Service?

The Argentine reporter, who interviewed Bush at the White House with other journalists from the Latin American media, asked the president if he even had a watch.

"Si, Timex," Bush said, thrusting out his wrist to show off a timepiece that had his middle initial, W, on the face. "But I'm not supposed to be endorsing products."

What's in your pockets?

/me is pocketless today...

Borla 11-02-2005 05:37 AM

My iPod is in my shirt pocket.

My money clip is in my right pants pocket with $98, DL, CC, insurance card, a few business cards, etc.

My cell phone is sitting next to me on my desk, but when I get up I slip it in my other pants pocket. :)

Pragma 11-02-2005 05:38 AM

Cellphone and keys (with remote access token) in left knee pocket.
Wallet in right knee pocket.

And occasionally scraps of paper with important reminders, IP addresses, or code fragments in whatever pocket I happen to put them in first. Not very exciting.

highthief 11-02-2005 05:44 AM

I am not currently wearing pants, so no pockets for me!

little_tippler 11-02-2005 05:52 AM

I only carry little paper reminders in my pockets, and junk, and have a bag to carry everything else. I never carry my mobile in my pocket as I don't think it's good to have it against my nether regions all day!

martinguerre 11-02-2005 05:57 AM

lighter for my bad habits, ipod, keys (including extras as i'm catsitting), wallet with cash and cards, cellphone, and lint.

handkerchief
left hip pocket:

jacket pockets
keys, pen, note pad, cigarettes, gas receipt from when I fueled up this morning, tube of Carmex, and a business card from a supplier that I had lunch with yesterday.

Pretty boring...pretty typical

If i'm at work, i also have two pens at all times- one cheap one in the left pocket for handing customers to sign things, and one good one in the right pocket for my own use. People steal pens like crazy.

guthmund 11-02-2005 11:17 AM

Some of you guys must make a lot of noise when you walk around. :D

A set of keys, a wallet and a bag of cookies.

theguyondacouch 11-02-2005 11:47 AM

snowy 11-02-2005 11:49 AM

I always carry: cell phone, keys, driver's license, and debit card. I'm not much for purses...so most things go in my pockets. This is why I buy men's pants a lot--women's pants either don't have pockets, or the pockets are too small. Boo.

Blasphemy. 11-02-2005 02:14 PM

Front right pocket - Lighter, debit card, id, and school i.d.

back right pocket - huge set of keys

back left pocket - Smokes

and I usually keep my cell phone in my jacket pocket or in my bookbag.

hotzot 11-02-2005 02:23 PM

back right pocket- wallet
left front pocket -metered dose inhaler

Carno 11-02-2005 02:52 PM

Two keys and a pen.

Woo!

JumpinJesus 11-02-2005 03:14 PM

Right now the only thing in my pocket is a bunch of quarters for the laundry.

I never carry my keys in my pocket because I'm a bit OCD and if I can't feel them in my hand, I'm certain I've lost them. So my keys are always in my hand whenever I go out. Also, having your keys in your hand allows for some ninja moves if anyone ever tries to rob me.

aKula 11-02-2005 03:23 PM

left pocket: handkerchief
right pocket: clean handkerchief (for cleaning my glasses) and my wallet.
If I'm wearing a suit i'll have my phone in one inside pocket and my wallet in the other.

Tophat665 11-02-2005 03:26 PM

Let's see...
Pants get a wallet, key ring, handkerchief, and a micro leatherman.
Shirt gets a pack of smokes and a lighter, and sometimes a pen.
Coat gets another lighter, a full sized leatherman, a hairbrush, and sometimes a cigar.

hrandani 11-02-2005 03:44 PM

When I read that article before I saw this thread, I thought to myself that any man who walks around without a pen is a man who doesn't do any work.

That said: my contents (right front pants pocket) my keys, two pens, and a wallet.

laconic1 11-02-2005 03:49 PM

Right hip pocket always has my wallet
Right front pocket, keys and spare change
Left front pocket, cellphone and mp3 player
I cant stand to use shirt pockets and the only thing I ever keep in my coat pockets are my gloves

Grasshopper Green 11-02-2005 04:20 PM

Currently, I'm pocketless. However, when I do have pockets, I rarely carry anything in them but lint and perhaps a movie ticket stub. I carry too much to use pockets; I'm a purse kinda girl.

Wulf_Hunter 11-02-2005 05:26 PM

Key's, Cable TV splitters (HSD installer), and a tin of Ice breakers.

onodrim 11-02-2005 06:46 PM

Nothing, my pockets aren't big enough to fit anything in there. But if I were able to fit anything, it'd be my keys, drivers license, and debit card.

:lol: How can you fit it all? I never put anything in my pockets - ever! If I do happen to slip something in, it comes right back out. I just can't stand the bulky feeling.

*flaunt flaunt*



Today is a rare "Have pockets" day, so here is the list of the contents:

One MAC lipstick in "Fresh Morrocan".
One small black cloth-covered rubber band.

The end!
Uncharacteristically utilitarian for me.

Well, I'm a guy. I purchase pants that have pockets loose enough to fit my stuff. For you, as a girl, you are dressing to show your "stuff", and we appreciate that. :D

And the knife is very thin.

shesus 11-04-2005 02:55 PM

Well, since I teach first grade I have various things in my pocket from day to day.
This week I have had:
plastic rings, tissues, a rock, candy, pennies, a dollor bill, a quarter, an index card, spiderman, bandaid wrappers, a crayon, a pencil, a marble, dice, a jack, and other strange items that the children hand me. :crazy:

For my 'things'...
an El ticket, a lighter, and of course my hand.

krwlz 11-06-2005 12:08 PM

Currently nothing, as I empty everything into my desk drawer when I sit down. Cant stand the shit falling out of my pockets. If you were to bump into me and ask, wallet in front right, with credit card, drivers license, etc (no money by the way... Damn being a broke college student). Left front pocket: keys, lighter, cell phone pocket knife. Back pockets, random notes and papers I deem necesary at the time.

alleymary 11-06-2005 12:31 PM

I try not to put things in my pockets cuz I forget they are there and then it ends up in the wash!

I wonder how many people have a car key like that with the plastic bit gone. My brother has a car key that looks remarkably similar. Commodore?

Rodney 11-06-2005 04:06 PM

Front right: keys and coins. Coins include three new Kansas quarters (I like the buffalo) and a Costa Rican 50-colon coin worth maybe 15 cents.

Front left: ID wallet including driver's license, all other ID, and debit/credit cards.

Rear right: Old wallet for currency and receipts.

I like this arrangement because it keeps the wallet flat enough that I can sit on it comfortably for hours. And if somebody ever robs me, I'll give him my wallet and folding cash, but the ID will stay with me unless he's smart enough to figure it out. The ID wallet is really small and doesn't bulge out the pocket.

Destrox 11-06-2005 09:43 PM

Pocket Knife (3.5 " Gerber black folding)
Keys (About 20 keys and a 512MB USB Flash)
Cellphone
Change
A few dollars
Blue pen
Black pen
Gum (Usually trident)
Wallet

Its pretty much the same thing every day.

Me to, so no pockets! Naked and alone in bed, any hot babes want to join me?

Kadath 11-07-2005 05:40 AM

Count me in with the few that work from home and so carry nothing. I have my wallet in my right rear pocket because it just goes into whatever pair of pants I'm wearing tomorrow so I don't lose it. A standard loadout for me when going on a job:

Front right - Car/house keys
Front left - nothing.
Rear right - wallet
Rear left - maybe a list of some sort, or directions
Jacket sleeve pockets - two pens
Jacket breast pocket - notepad, change
Jacket inner pocket - gum

I generally am going to public buildings of one sort or another, often with metal detectors, so both my Leatherman tools stay home.

RogueHunter65 11-07-2005 08:03 AM

Left pocket:
Pen
Samsung cell phone
student ID

Right Pocket:
iPod
Money clip - $70-90, credit card, Drivers Licence.
Jacket: Lighter

Janey 11-07-2005 08:38 AM
