So? What Cha Got????

KoolAid, my muse lately, has posted a great question. What's in Your Wallet? (or what he consideres required equipment)

After reading his list, and those of his commenters all I could think of was Oops. I think I missed the boat.

I will admit that I've applied for a concealed weapon permit here in Florida. With all the crap I've had go one the past 9 months and the amount of travel and freaks I deal with, I felt it was a good idea. But......to date I don't carry anything that could be called a weapon in conventional terms.

What I do carry in my purse....

1) A swiss army knife. It's old and dull but it lies in state on the bottom of my purse.
2)A calculator - actually 2 of them
3) My ID's. I know they are there - just don't know exactly where.
4) White out - hey, you never know........
5) Nine, yes nine, tubes of lipstick - all variations of the same color.
6) More pens than I can count.
7) Note pad
8) My beautiful set of darts....I'm always up for a game.
9) A tape measure
10) A small strand of rope
11) Disposable camera

Now, in my car I have a golf umbrella - perfect for keeping my hair pretty and also a very effective weapon. You'd be amazed at how much damage a 6'2" pissed off woman can do with one of those things.

Reading back through this, I realize I probably better make a few changes. Oh, who the hell am I kidding. This works for me.......If I get into trouble I'll just beat them with the umbrella, tie them up with the rope, paint their faces with white-out, chop off their hair with the knife, put lipstick on them, draw a bullseye with the pen on my note pad, measure back the correct distance and have a little game of darts while waiting for the cops. Oh, and then I'd take a picture.
