Marshall McLuhan (1911 - 1980), sociologist
A friend told me her car was a mess and listed the items inside. I agree the car sounds like a mess. My car is usually very clean except for ATM receipts crinkled up and thrown on the floor in disgust with the pitiful totals revealed. I have a bottle of water and CD cases on the front seat. In the back seat is my fisherman’s hat from the rainy season that I have not taken out. If my car is too dirty On The Mark is Johnny on the spot to tell me it needs to be washed. I won’t mention that if he turned in all the Diet Coke cans from inside his car he’d have enough cash for a tropical vacation.
Here is the list from my friend’s car and part of her note:
My car was a disaster. I mean seriously a disaster! It looks like I was living in my car!!!
I had the following items in there:
1. Slippers
2. Baseball cap and mitt
3. Blow Dryer-2 hairbrushes
4. Empty garment bag
5. Pajamas
6. Tennis Shoes
7. Tank Tops
8. Exercise Mat
9. Empty water bottles
Similar to that rip off credit card company that is always advertising, What’s in your car?

I forgot about the lost french fries that used to show up from time to time. However, traffic is so bad that I have quit eating in the car. Now it's mostly empty generic CD cases because I always make my own.
B2 has been known to complain about the state of my car. Among other things right now it contains:
3 empty ziplock bags
box of disposable bibs
2 packages of baby wipes
2 packages of kleenex
1 package of hand wipes
bunch of napkins
soup plantation coupons
bed, bath and beyond coupons
5 dirty pacifiers
2 clean pacifiers
child sippy cup
3 dirty kids t-shirts
earthquake kit
extra shoes
towel
2 strollers
empty plastic bag to collect trash
remains of string cheese, sandwiches and pretzles
at least 2 childrens art projects
stack of preschool flyers and newsletters
dog leash
bottle of sunscreen
lip balm
stick sunscreen
Disney princess stickers
rubber bands, barettes and headbands
1 pair baby shoes
1 pair baby sandals
7 pairs baby socks
3 kids books
neck pillow
dog shaped neck pillow
B2's car on the other hand is immaculate, and he has always kept his car clean as long as I have known him (which is almost as long as he has been driving)
I am impressed that all the baby socks are in pairs. I can't even keep my socks at home in pairs -- they seem to sprout legs and purposely hide.
I forgot to list a set of purple dress up butterfly wings and a pink cape.
The socks are not exactly in pairs, the baby takes them off as soon as we get in the car and throws them.
