I have you all beat by a landslide. In the back of my truck is a cardboard box that contains approximately 90 plastic frisbees decorated in the style of a national pizza chain. It once contained exactly 100 frisbees. I have used or given away a few, so I’m guessing on the remaining number. It’s been in there almost since I got the truck, about five years now. I have no practical use for one frisbee, much less several dozen of them. One of these days, however, I’m going to find myself driving along a very high cliff or mountainside, and see a good spot to pull over… 😃 ---

> [@Yumblie](#): > > In my wallet I have a blank white card that merely says “This Card Intentionally Left Blank.” I think it came with my credit card or something, as I have no idea what it could be used for other than humor value (why would someone bother to make a blank card, and write that it’s blank on it, making it not blank anymore?). There are items I carry with me sometimes that might have had or maybe will have some use at some point, but my blank card is probably the most useless thing I have. Actually these are really common in new wallets. They usually put these blank cards into the wallets as filler, usually to allow a customer to see where the credit card slits are located. Kinda like he stock photo that gets stuck in picture frames and the photo sleeve in the wallet. About the only useless thing I carry around is the carabiner that is hooked onto my key ring. Still, once in a blue moon i’ll use it to clip my keys to something so it’s not totally useless. ---

Three dogtags. Two (with my name) (and with ‘Penicillin Allergy’) are not useless. The third one inscribed “If you are recovering my body F\*ck you” is just for its comedic potential. ---

Probably my lucky pieces. I have a “doubloon” from Mardi Gras 1992 with my totemic animal on it that is always in my left front pants pocket. I also have a treaded cotterpin on my keyring. It was off my first catamaran, and actually serves to divide my keys so they lay flatter in my pocket.
