I have number of "everyday" suites. There is no knife in my Sunday
purse because I usually hang out in the church kitchen, but that is
going to change next Sunday -- on my way home last Sunday, I wanted to
cut a pepper off the vine, but not one of the tools in my pockets was
suitable. I didn't want to damage the vine, so I had to hope that it
would keep until next Sunday.

I don't think there's a spare key-chain knife in my stash, so I'll
have to swap back and forth with one of the other suites until I can
buy one. Keychain knives can't be bought, actually; one has to luck
into them.

A comb is common to all the suites. The Sunday suite has half a
dressing comb; my waiting-room suite has an unbroken dressing comb; my
walking/driving suite has a pocket comb; my riding suite has a
re-enactor's horn comb in the wallet.

I don't own a comb. It's probably been at least 10 years since I used
one. This probably depends on your hair type, but I usually feel that my
fingers do a better job at straightening the hair without making it look
stern.

I also don't currently have any kind of pocket knife, but I don't see
that as a good thing. I just haven't missed it enough recently.

statistical probability provides loopholes, and discrepancies are
expunged by Faith. -- Ursula LeGuin, The Left Hand of Darkness, ch. 5
