Contents of a Character's Wallet by Fortune Monkey

June 25th, 2006 6:05 AM

INSTRUCTIONS: In Jack Finney's short story, "Contents of a Dead Man's Pocket", the character - clinging to the side of a building - imagines what the world will think of him if they only have the contents of his pockets to consider.

Empty your pockets, your wallet, your purse out onto a table- tally the contents and tell us what the world would think of you, if they had only those effects to consider. Then, decide upon one thing to add to the contents of your pockets, your wallet, or your purse, which will better enunciate the truth of your person to the world.


NOW WHAT DOES THIS ALL SAY ABOUT ME?

I think it shows what a well rounded and prepared individual I am. Although there is trash, there are also items demonstrating a positive concern for personal hygiene. I'm sure it's obvious that I must be an ex-girl scout and therefore know that one should "always be prepared" The pin backs, however, are a bit of an enigma...obviously I also have some "issues"

OR even more simply put in the words of Aaro Landr; "you carry too much crap on you btw"

WHAT DID I ADD?
I added a photo of some of my family that really explains so much....
