Q: Dear Mr. Smith: I understand that the “change” pocket in pants keeps the bulk close to the leg, but they’re a functional nightmare (I don’t have the long, thin fingers of a concert pianist or the dexterity of a professional magician). Since men don’t carry purses, what are your thoughts on loose change?

A: The problem of loose change is one that is yet unsolved by male sartorial convention.

davidlook: To both you idiots: My new line of men’s handbags will be released shortly. Problem solved. Mark my words, the revolution is coming. Men WILL carry purses, we’ll of course just think of a more whimsical and gentlemanly word for them.
