Oh, the odd things we carry around....

What is the oddest thing you've ever found in a pocket or purse? Doesn't have to be your own pocket, just a pocket. (Please keep this clean, though, everyone.) I'm not really looking for gross either, at least not specifically. Just odd. Like "what the heck? Why is this in here?" more than "What the heck is this? Yuck."
My own story, but not from my pocket: my boyfriend carries around a hockey puck. He is entirely unathletic and has never played hockey. I asked him about the hockey puck when I found it in his coat pocket (he'd lent me his coat because I was freezing, and I stuck my hands in the pockets to keep warm, and ran across something weird: "What the heck is this?"). He told me he'd found it in the woods on a walk once, picked it up and kept it because it was random, and actually kinda cool. It's a hockey puck. A random hockey puck. Cool.
Anyone else? Stories?

Weirdest thing I ever found in a pocket... I'm always finding weird stuff in my purse and pockets, and now I'm drawing a blank. Uh... Oh! A bottle of nutmeg. I still don't know why I had a bottle of nutmeg in my purse. I was at a *club* for goodness sake! Who brings nutmeg to a night club?

A bottle of nutmeg? That is odd! But not unpleasently so!
You probably threw it in there at some point and forgot that it was there. Or you thought it was something else when you tossed it in.
You got me beat, though. Nutmeg at a nightclub....

I found a Chuck E Cheese token in an old purse before. Thought that was kind of odd and random.
If I actually carried a purse, I'm sure I'd find all sorts of things in it. But I don't. And since pants get washed, things in my pockets cannot accumulate.
However, the coolest thing I found in my pocket was in pants I hadn't worn for a year I found like $50. :)

i don't usually put anything on my pocket. but my brother carries old receipts inside his pocket. once i decided to do the laundry. and was surprised upon inspecting pockets of denims my next brother wears. a bulk crampled thing inside. upon taking it out, it's an old old receipt that had been already washed many times already. it's no longer clear what's printed but i am sure it's a receipt since the design of the paper and the texture is like the ones in the mall i love to go to.
