What's in your bag?

Seems like there's some serious shit going down on the forum at the moment so to lighten the mood I thought I'd share something with you that will, hopefully, provoke some interesting responses.

Whilst checking through my kit in preparation for my Annecy trip I found several strange items, some of which are as follows;

Eight Duracell batteries
A condom
An energy bar
some ear plugs
A role of dental floss
paper tissues
A whole set of replacement lines for Boomerang Sport (M)
Spiniker tape
Lighter
Flare

Now I know the reason for some of them are obvious, but what do you think the others are for?

Answers on a post card please.

Also, there's a bonus point for the person who comes up with the strangest things they carry in their bag.

Is the second item anything to do with waterproofing?

In another attempt to lighten things up I only carry condoms in case I'm called out to the studio

The ear plugs are for when you are travelling with Gary after he's done an XC, and the lighter is used to set fire to yourself after you realise you forgot the earplugs.

Well one big point to John.
The earplugs were left in my harness after the BCC/BPC rounds so that I could get some sleep in the camp site and on the hill when it wasn't flyeable. I decided to leave them in there for exactly the reason John mentioned but don't tell Gary.
I was going to take the lighter out of my harness but have decided to leave it in also for the reason mentioned.

The condom? can't really remember why this is in my harness but it may be either as a method of carrying water (an idea I once read in a SAS survival book) or in case I win the 'Laid on Landing' trophy. Incidentally the said object has been in my harness since 1994 so probably won't be any good for either purpose.

Sorry Bradleisure your making the miostake of assuming I have a modicum of intelligence, but, I'll leave the condom in there for that exact idea. I wonder if ribbed ones will make it easier to use the PTT?

A tip here gary is to stop playing with it when it gets painful - this forum is not that arousing and that is not really a picture of Ali - it is a monkey.

Hope you are feeling better

Bag ladies on the streets with their possesions in a shopping trolly dont hump around as much crap as you Ali.

Baring having something to clean up after a posh wank I see little of interest in the contents of your clutch bag.
