I think you can tell a lot about a man by the contents of his wallet. So much so, in fact, that I refuse to share the contents of mine
I’m interested to know why the various receipts in your wallet are not categorized as “trash.” And, if not trash, why do they remain in the wallet? (i.e., If they evidence business expenses, shouldn’t they be elsewhere?) I’m laughing, along with Josh up there, envisioning the Seinfeld episode featuring George’s overgrown, mutant wallet. Perhaps you need Jerry’s man-purse.
Fun post.

The receipts are definitely trash; I just had so many of them that they warranted their own category.

I’ve always prided myself on carrying a lean wallet.
2 credit cards, 1 debit card.
3 insurance cards (medical, dental, rx)
1 kroger card
1 Bradley Staff ID
1 National Scrabble Assoc membership card
1 voters registration card
1 one world coffe card (with 8 of 10 punches filled)
2 pictures (1 of Tommy, 1 of whole family)
$62 in cash
I did find one piece of paper with the number “1266″ written on it. I have no idea what is was for, so I threw it out.
Thanks for reminding me to clean out my wallet.

JA,
Hopefully “1266″ was not a pin number. Done that one!

PI,
Glad it wasn’t “clean out your purse day.” The contents of mine would blow your measly wallet contents totally out of the water….
