What's the Strangest Thing in Your Purse?

[boswellbaxter]

I'm one of those women who carries a big purse and who has a lot of stuff in it. Today I was rummaging for something in my purse and found a yarmulke in it--and I'm not even Jewish! Someone dropped one in the parking lot of the grocery store we frequent, and my husband, the king of the pack rats, decided I should stick it in my purse instead of just leaving it there. So today it was still there.

So what's the strangest thing in your purse?

LOL! Whenever my husband needs something that's in my purse, like a band-aid or something, he brings it to me rather than go through it himself - he says I carry around too much stuff and he can never find anything there.

That said, I cleaned mine out before going on vacation this summer, so the strangest thing is probably a ticket stub from Becoming Jane, dated last August.

I think almost everything I have in my bag is useful. Perhaps the strangest thing, though, would be the Tide To Go.

I don't carry a purse, just a wallet, unless I am on a trip. My friends think it is weird to see me with a purse, actually.

Speaking of wallets, everytime I turn around I am breaking the change compartment zipper. I can't even get to my change right now because when I do it will break entirely, so I have to find one I want to buy first.

Ermmm....apart from the band aids, sons inhaler, panadol and pain relief to supply any chemist my bag is quite decent at the moment!! However, that is only because I cleaned it out at the weekend!

A urinary funnel in a sanitary case. Very convenient for hiking; it gives you all the advantages of a man and leaves you dry besides. Also useful if the restroom is too disgusting to sit.

I'm withyou. No purse. Never have carried one never want to. Its too combersome. :)

Where might one find one of those....?

I had to think then because in the UK a purse is what I think the USA brigade call a wallet, and what the USA calls a purse is in the UK a handbag? In which case I would have to say gravy bones (little shiny bone-shaped dog biscuits!)

As to the 'She-wee' Amazon UK have them, so perhaps Amazon.com do too?

Caring hands sells them here (http://www.travelmateinfo.com/page002.html). I have found this design the best of all the various ones I've used backpacking, and it comes with a tube and container for use in small planes. (Did I mention the dh is a private pilot? and I hate takeoffs and landings, and haven't much bladder capacity. So this little thingy was a kidney-saver.)
Somehow, it even gets the fluid to run uphill!

Matchbox cars for my toddler!!! :)

Wal-mart happy face stickers which my kids didn't like, so they gave them to me to stuff them in my purse. Ant-itch cortisone cream for my daughters eczema. Does a toothbrush and toothpaste count? Don't go anywhere without them!

My husband likes to put random things from our house in my purse, so the strangest thing in there right now is a fake apple. Strange man, but I love him!

Antibiotics for one of the dogs!

Wow, I do NOT win this contest - dropped yamulkes and urine funnels are out of my league. :p

Right now, I would say dried liver snaps for dogs, or a picture of me on my birthday last year - I'm a bit tipsy on margaritas and wearing a large sombrero as I'm serenaded by restaurant employees. I don't want to throw it out, yet it doesn't seem important enough to put somewhere to keep.

I used to have a wallet-size high school graduation diploma. It listed my entire graduating class on the back side, and was provided with compliments of the local funeral home. Very strange. It was lost when my wallet was stolen a few years back, but I have not been called upon to prove that I graduated from high school on a moment's notice!

My mother would say the strangest thing to find in my wallet is money :D because I'm such a tightwad and there never is any.

LOL!! I can see my son being the same! I know my daughter is!

At least one book, my wallet, my checkbook, McDonalds happy meal toy (or two), my work badge (so weirdo's don't get in), nine ink pens of which maybe three actually have any ink, extra set of car keys (I always lose/forget mine somewhere),10-12 reciepts, last weeks list for Walmart, and at the very bottom most likely you'll find five dollars in small change that I always forget to use or am too lazy to dump my purse and sort.
