I don’t think it’ll fit in your pocket, though.

That’s okay, it’s got a lanyard ring on it. You can hang it from your belt.

[QUOTE=Quiddity Glomfuster]  
I’m guessing both would slither downwards together as a result of the two-pound load hauling your trousers off. This assumes that you have, instead of a normal jeans pocket, a kangaroo-like pouch in which to stow it.

Well, on the subject of usual load limits in your jeans, speak for your self, pal!

But, I don’t want one. I want there to be one though. Its existence serves a higher purpose in our society.
