Buggering Off
So, a friend’s friend called her up and said, “I’m moving to Florida.” The natural response was, “When?” So the cat says, “Er, tomorrow.”
That got me thinking a little bit. If the time came to make a move and you had, say, 30 minutes to get ready and maybe a regulation duffle bag and your pockets for luggage what would you take along?
My usual kit would come along:
Zippo
Pocketknife
1973 50 pence piece
Pen and small notebook
Wallet/money
Keys
Kerchief
That all fits in the pockets, though. Now on to the real packing:
iPod & charger & headphones
Two changes of outer clothing
Three changes of under clothing
Jacket
Red Sox cap
Swiss Family Robinson
As many Transmetropolitan issues as I can fit in the sack
A flask of bourbon
I’m sure I’ll think of others but that ought to get me at least to Iowa.

Pockets: matches
wallet w/cash and/or atm card
keys
lipstick (cause I’m a girl)
Duffle: Three sets of outer clothing
seven sets of under clothing
seven pairs of dry, clean socks,
(nothin’ changes an outlook like dry,
clean socks)
Girl Scout handbook (loads of laughs
and lots of helpful cookie selling tips)
my little purple notebook and a pen

Who could leave everything and everyone they know without their book of helpful cookie selling tips?
That actually makes more sense than some of my choices, at least then you’d have some way of making some dough.
