Of course we have been hearing comments from the female part of our families, "how long you had that wallet?  "..... "why don't you buy a new wallet? " ............. "You dropped something out of the bottom of your wallet ".  We accept those comments as something like a woman giving birth, something the other half of the specie just can't know about. |
I have no clue what you are talking about I get a new wallet ever 3 or 4 years myself. It has never been a big deal the old one starts to wear out I get a new one.

I can only hope that it will be something that soon learns to fit my ass and provides me the support for my valuables. Sure there's a lot of cheap glitz and I will be able to see the pictures through the non grey-yellow photo holder.

How hard is it there are 3 basic type of wallet.
There is the trifold they fold into thirds. The only major difference is how many slot they have for cards and other stuff.
There is the bifold they fold in half. There are two basic type of these ones that just fold in half and ones that fold in half then have a flap that folds over top of it. once again the only major difference is the number of slots they have for cards and stuff (the ones with the flap normally have a few extra).
There is the straight wallet that doesnt fold you money at all. These are basically use by business men who where suit jacket and kept in the inside pocket and only carry money (some people also keep them in a front pocket on a chain).

After seeing your wallet (in person and the picture of it) this is most likely a good thing. I've seen women's purses with less crap stuffed in them. I can help you with this. First off any money that is in it stick in and in an envelope put my address on it and mail it to me (you have my address and make sure you have to correct postage on it please). Pull out all the cards and look at the dates on them if they are expired or the place no longer exist throw them out. Look at all the pices of paper you have stuffed in there any thing you don't need throw out (thing like some girls number that is so faded you can barely read it any more or one that start out with something like Klondike5). All you need in your wallet is your license credit cards, membership cards that you use, and money. Maybe you can also put in your SOS card and a few number and addresses you may need.

Right after I've replaced the photo holders the second or third time, I'll start hearing the nagging for another two to three years and be back to starting all over again.
The women have no idea of the traumatic things we guys have to live through.  |
The reason it feels that way is because of all the crap you have in it (I have to wonder if this isn't some kind of anti theft thing. Some one trys to mug you and to throw you wallet at their head and knock them out with it). If you stick to the plan I gave you above for cleaning your wallet out (don't forget the first step of sending the money to me) it should be less then a inch thick (not over 3 inches) and you'll have no problem with it.
PS. If your not going to listen to anything I siad maybe I should sujest you make a duct tape wallet. That way when ever it starts to rip you just use a little duct tape to fix it and no one will ever be able to tell.
