Chest pockets and their usefulness

Pockets are a wonderful thing. Without pockets, our hands would always be full of stuff we can't stand to leave home without; cell phone, keys, wallet, portable gaming device, etc. It would only make sense that the more pockets you have, the better! Right?

Well if you don't agree, here's a list I made about my favorite kind of pockets: chest pockets.

Practical Uses of The Chest Pocket

• Got a stick of gum you want to save for later, but your wife and her bottomless purse are nowhere to be found? Good thing you have a chest pocket, otherwise that stick of gum would have become a lint magnet in your jeans.
• Playing your cards close to your chest? Why not leave them there for insured safe keeping. I learned from my days working in a comic book store that chest pockets are the perfect size for Magic: The Gathering cards.
• Do you consider yourself organized with your Moleskine notebook full of all your to-do lists? Not if that list is nowhere near your heart. Add to the list: Buy shirts with chest pockets.

My favorite buttoned shirt I picked up from Mexico has FOUR pockets on the front. What does that tell you about our neighbors to the south? They chew a lot of gum, collect Magic cards, and have a long list of things to do.

P.S. Last time I stood on the scale I weighed 148 pounds. My goal was 147 pounds, so it looks like I'll be hitting it soon.
