      I was a pocket watch user in the time before we all carried phones all the time and I cursed all pants without a fob pocket in those days.

      I was always taught it was called a ‘fob pocket’, as in a pocket for your fob watch (the old name for a pocket watch) but I only knew that because my grandfather collected fob watches. I was also taught that the little pocket near the hip of the inside of a coat is called a fob pocket for the same reason.

    Come on, dude, there is no female wage gap. It’s just that men choose high-salary jobs, like doctor or lawyer, and women choose low-salary jobs, like female doctor or female lawyer.

    Its a watch pocket actually. For a pocket watch. That practically nobody uses anymore. I use it for small easily lost project parts.

    No one has made mention of the 83.7%. I think it should be 17% odd smaller.

    Sorry I know it’s like that glass eyed guy from last action hero.

      Need to keep condoms cool. Body heat, over a long time, will increase chances of failure. The condom in the wallet is a “baby maker”.

        Why does heat make condoms break?

          Why? Beats me.

          https://www.webmd.com/sex/birth-control/what-to-broken-condom

          Using poorly stored condoms. Heat, direct sunlight, and friction are some of the biggest threats to a condom’s durability. You should avoid using condoms stored in your wallet or glove compartment for long. The friction and heat in these areas might contribute to breakage. Condoms are meant to be stored in cool dark areas, away from direct sunlight.
