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."

I suppose it's a slow news day when this is what gets reported, but it some bizarre way, it's interesting...

What's in your pockets?

/me is pocketless today...

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!

:)

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.

Pretty boring...pretty typical

left pocket, at all times: cell phone.
keys clipped to belt loop.
wallet, back-right pocket.

and that's it. :)

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.

I'm a man of simple needs.

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.

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.
