I do have a couple bucks in the purse, but that's so that just in case I do ever get mugged, I have something to hand over. An old friend of mine's uncle was shot and killed by a mugger when he had nothing to give him.
I am familiar with this concept. In Nairobi in the 1990s (probably still) there was a recommended amount to carry in a wallet for muggers to find, should you be unfortunate enough to meet one. As crime was rising in the city, meeting a mugger was a reasonable probability, and muggers who found foreigners without some money were likely to kill or injure the offending victim.
The rule was, don't carry with you what you would not be able to lose without hardship, and don't carry less than X amount. Chance of being mugged decreased if one went in company with 3-4 others. If you went in a car to certain areas, chance of mugging decreased almost to zero, but there was an exponential rise in the likelihood of carjacking.

Hmm. Why isn't it okay for a man to wear a fanny pack? They're very practical, especially for travelling.
Well, you might want to bear in mind that in England a fanny is not your backside but a woman's 'undercarriage'. I know that is a minimal consideration for most Americans (and quite right too) but every time this type of discussion comes up you must realise that all the English posters are indulging in fits of mad childish giggles.

I'm not male, nor do I own a fanny pack.
See, there you go, from my point of view you most certainly do. For me, that statement is an oxymoron.

I wonder what Stacy and Clinton from "What Not To Wear" would have to say about this... :D
Oh, we have that programme - are your presenters as bad as ours, I wonder? Silly trollopes.

I'm indulging in fits of childish giggles? I didn't realise that.
Also, a fanny-pack is not the same thing as a fanny :P
On a related note, I do miss the old days of Sims 1, when every Townie was named Randy. Oh, the laughs.

Oh, women look stupid with them as well. Women, however, generally carry purses and a fanny pack is not needed. A lot of men have this complex about carrying anything purselike. The invention of messenger bags has helped to curtail the fanny-pack craze.
I don't need a purse. You should see how much I carry in just my coat.

As for me, my money is hidden in three different places, none of which are my purse. Well...I do have a couple bucks in the purse, but that's so that just in case I do ever get mugged, I have something to hand over. An old friend of mine's uncle was shot and killed by a mugger when he had nothing to give him.
The only thing I hand out is death. You should always wear body armor! Millions for defense, not a penny for tribute!

I keep my personal effects stashed all over my body. I carry my wallet in my hand (tis a big wallet), have my keys and iPod in my pocket and I stash any large notes in my bra. How many muggers have attempted to steal out of a woman's bra? Anyone who attempts it gets a kick in balls and a broken nose.
