• Used Kleenex
• A package of crushed soda crackers that was too good to leave at the restaurant (a month earlier)
• An expired coupon for hair dye
• A ball-point pen that doesn’t work
• A bar napkin with a phone number written on it of that guy who didn’t call back
• A package of Wet-Ones that lost all its “wet” six months ago
• A broken hair clip
• A recipe torn from the newspaper to add to the other recipes you’ll never make
• A postage stamp that dates back to three rate-hikes ago
• Keys to suitcases you no longer own
• A CD that doesn’t play
• Directions to that restaurant you’ll never go to again
• An appointment reminder card for a dentist’s visit you made three months ago
• Hard candy that has lost its cellophane
