Junk in the Trunk: The Old Bag
No, not my wife. I technically do not have a trunk to house her in, since I drive a pick-up. Since room is cramped behind the seats, and I don’t drive that far anymore, I no longer carry an old bag.
This is an overnight bag, with a change of clothes and a small bath kit. The clothes are a pair of black $10 walmart jeans and a wrinkle free golf shirt. (and of course, socks and draws. It’s also good to get the pants a bit long to hide your socks) This tends to look better than the money and conditions that brought it about. The bath kit is for what I call a “car shower.”
I still keep a “car shower” kit in the glove box. Its just a small travel deodorant, body spray, mouth wash, folding comb/brush, and a packet of soap. Enough to look presentable at church when you can’t make it home after a night at the sleaze den.
While in China I learned to keep, in even the smallest of glove-boxes, a “gas station bathroom” kit. It’s a small zip-lock bag with a travel pack of kleenex, hand soap, and a butt gasket. I’m still waiting for the tiny “breath spray” size of Lysol, but a tiny bottle of Listerine works ok. I cannot find it, but someone has invented a clip that fits over the travel kleenex that doubles as a stall door lock. If your in a bad ‘hood, or your really paranoid, prop a travel mirror on top of the urinal to see behind you. However, I can’t imagine what you would do about it, if you saw anything behind you mid-stream.

I have a travel size bottle of Lysol… got it before I headed to Mexico a couple years ago.
