Pockets

What is it with pockets and men or should that be men and pockets?

Yesterday Warren's brother Barry and his partner came for lunch. Barry is known to be tight, if one is being  rude or careful with his money. Maureen remarked that she had taken Barry shopping earlier in the week and persuaded him to buy two pairs of pants and three shirts.

Warren replied that he lives in what he calls tennis or golf shirts, a T shirt with a collar. Barry said that he needs a pocket and Warren agreed that he likes to have a pocket as well but many of the collared T-shirts don't have pockets.

I said that he always tries to get them with pockets but not always possible but he doesnt ever use the pocket anyway.

Apparently Barry does use the pocket for a pen and notepaper but the note paper is cut up to fit cardboard and he writes phone numbers and messages on it and transfers to each shirt. Now that is recycling.
