: How'd you like your wallet contents spread out? (of course if yours is like mine no-one will be excited over $3. and a 4 year old condom.)
Actually, I like it when people dump out my wallet... When they get a gander at the dozen or so Manly credit cards in there (Home Depot, National Tire & Battery, Sears, etc.), they can't help but be impressed... I never let on that the total available credit on ALL of them is ALMOST enough for a Extra Value Meal (not supersized). Heck, half the cards have probably expired!
As for the condom... sure, that may seem embarassing at first, but those of us in the know understand that you're significant other handles the birth control, so you don't use condoms, and only keep that one around in case you need to McGyver a coolant line fix. Always prepared, aren't ya Traveler ;-)
As for respecting my wifes privacy by avoiding her purse... Nope. That ain't it. We don't keep secrets, and I'm welcome to look through her purse any time I want too. I simply refuse to go into it because that thing scares me... It's some kind of wrinkle in the fabric of space and time allowing an object 4"x8"x6" hold approximately 45 cubic feet of junk. We're talking X-Files sh_t here... I'm always worried that if I have to go in there, I may not get my arm back.
I actually called in to work a few weeks back because I couldn't find my keys. I thought they were in my wifes purse, but I wasn't about to go after them (my boss understood completely). Finally, my wife got up around nine, and said yes, they were in her purse (she ran the movies back to Blockbuster in the Sub after I went to bed). She reached in without looking and immediately retrieved them, leading me to believe there is something aive in there that reads her mind and serves up whatever she is looking for, creating it from scratch if necessary.
As further proof of the X-Files nature of my wife's purse, not once in the last five years has her cell-phone rang while in her purse. Superman couldn't see into this thing!
