Two matching mobile phones, only one of which is mine, and the other is as well until I find out whose it is. And some dance shoes.
some normal, unexciting bits as well.

Yippieeeee, I get to report on the contents of "my pocket" as I wore jeans today.

   2 gray guitar picks (Jim Dunlop) .60mm & .73mm;
   1 tortise-like looking guitar pick (generic)   .??mm
   1 yellow sorta triangular pointy pick says "Herdim Germany"
    (I think it says that--I had to use a magnifying glass)
   1 check for playing at a festival-I almost forgot was there
    (are Musicians allowed to have money?)
   1 little rounded stone with "Please turn me over" painted on one
    side & "Thanks I needed that" on the other-somebody at
    the festival gave me.
   1 little clump of lint

    jeepers, that was exciting!

Side Pocket: Comb

Hip Pocket: Wallet.

Everything else hangs off my leather belt (circling from left front):

Mini-Maglite ®, with keys attached - in handmade leather sheaf,
Small Digital camera, in pouch,
Leatherman ® (original) in pouch,
Coin pouch ... the sort of trousers I prefer are too casual to have fob pockets!

Regard(les)s,

BECAUSE THEY COLD CALL ME, REMOVE THE CASHBACK FEATURE, AND SEND ME CHEQUES I DIDN'T ASK FOR - THATS WHY.

The longer I keep it, the less they will profit. Serves them right for being unrepentant when I tackled them on the issues.

Always have a pocket knife, even when I'm swimming, I feel naked without it. My current favourite is a Spiderco lockback. Also have a Fred Kelly thumbpick, Dunlop flatpicks, hair elastics, spare change like a couple of loonies or a toonie or two, keys with a Goderich Celtic Festival key fob containing emergency picks and a pay phone quarter, often my rings and bracelet if I'm working in the yard or shop, tools... Rarely carry my wallet as it rarely has more than moths in it anyway. Also on my person will be a Gerber multitool pliers, sometimes a discman (just got an MP3 player but haven't used it yet), and if I'm away maybe a ruck sack, courier bag, or sling sack with drinks, reading material, cds, pencil, glasses, another knife, whistle, hat, screwdriver, plastic bags for the dog's business...

Peace, Mooh.

I had safety pins in my pocket yesterday (not sure why).

At work I usually had two ballpoint pens, one ultrafine Sharpie, my pain-assesment slide rule, a cheap pendant-watch (I hate wrist-watches), and that stupid packet of index cards that I had to have signed whenever I did something for my training (ha! no more! new job, here I come!). And a lot of Post-Its. I lived by Post-Its.

How many of the ladies STILL have that something in your pocket that belongs upon your face-a Great Big Brownie Smile?

I had four sisters and later a daughter and some stepdaughters that were Brownies and sang that song. I still dread it!

Definately Folk by now, though!

Amazing how many of you carry rocks in your pockets. I have my rock in my shoulder pack. (I'm glad to see I'm not the only one!)

I agree with the remark about stuff in your pockets wearing out your pockets faster than the rest of the pants. I have streamlined the whole operation so I carry the essentials in my Eagle "fling" one-strapped shoulder pack. Frees up my pockets some. (If that link doesn't keep working, the site is http://www.travelcountry.com . I looked for a long time before I found this small, tough, well-designed pack.)

In my left pocket now I carry my house and post office keys (no work keys--they're on a separate ring in my pack--the size of a couple of those keys would cause serious groin injury if they're tangled in a pocket). In my right pocket I carry a folded linen handkerchief and my truck key and opener. I separated the keys when I found it too easy for the wad to set off the red button of my truck alarm when I dropped my pants in the bathroom. My Old Timer pocket knife doesn't ride in that pocket for the same reason. I carry it in my back pocket (though I carry it less now after 9-11 because for a while I was afraid that I'd lose it at some checkpoint during the day).

I've usually got a mini-Leatherman on my key caribiner, and a full-sized one (with a two-headed screwdriver and a mini-Mag flashlight w/headband) in a pouch in my briefcase.

(I say usually because I'm flying a couple hours and they confiscate mini-Leatherman tools as deadly weapons.)
