I got an email from my dad this morning. As you know, he likes a shirt with a lot of pockets. I knew that, but I didn't know how much. Here's his email to me...
Wow, my dad really likes pockets. And he's not the only one. I looked at the Scottevest blog and there is a post that asks the readers "What do you carry?" and then people commented with mile long lists of things they like to carry with them. Seriously, to read just one of the lists I had to scroll and scroll and scroll. Not only do they carry a lot around with them every day in their millions of pockets, but they are actually pocket aficionados who seem to be carrying things for the sake of carrying things and sharing it on the internet. This is one guy's list:

That guy is ready for anything. If he went out in the morning and found himself:
1. in pitch darkness (flashlight and extra batteries),
2. underwater and needing to take notes (waterproof notepaper and sealskin gloves AND waterproof LED light),
3. nauseous (travel sickness wrist straps and sick bag for when the wrist straps don't work, which they won't),
4. with a headache (headache pills in TWO different pockets),
5. eating corn on the cob (three toothpicks),
6. needing to point at a person's crotch across a room (laser pointer),
7. in space (space pen),
8. bleeding profusely and/or refreshing a wall (6 pack of plasters),
9. craving a stick of coffee (6 coffee sticks),
10. coaching a sporting event and/or deterring a rapist (whistle),
11. at his own office (office ID badge),
12. taking some selfies (camera),
13. wanting to play Angry Birds while listening to Ballroom Blitz (iPod),
14. driving across the Serengeti (Serengeti driving glasses),
15. needing to repair an O'Reilly computer (O'Reilly computer book),
16. dropping a cell phone in the toilet and needing to call someone to them them he dropped his phone in the toilet (2 cell phones),
17. and transporting oysters (Oyster Transport Card)...
he would be READY FOR ALL OF THAT AND MUCH, MUCH MORE.
Dad, what do you carry in your outfit with 53 pockets?
I just read an ad in my latest Guns and Ammo magazine by Scottevest. They have the "Revolution Jacket" 26 pockets...
O----M----G!!!!
and the Explorer shirt, 19 pockets!!!!!!!!!!!!
Can you imagine how much stuff I could travel with if I wore this jacket and shirt with my new Blackhawk pants (8 pockets)? I could go on a two week vacation and not have to carry any luggage! Could life GET and better?
