WALLET
Small container for carrying vital items such as credit cards,
money, etc. Wallets traditionally vanish from your person at the
most inconvenient time, resulting in you making a futile tour of
your pockets looking for it, despite knowing full well you've left
it at home.
Wallets are also the traditional home for at least several
dozen automatic teller slips, business cards from people you can't
remember meeting, receipts of all shapes and sizes, and various
other papers hidden in the more out-of-the-way pockets. Regular
cleaning (say, every six months) will result in great pleasure as
your wallet suddenly loses three-quarters of its weight and
thickness, and it becomes possible again to carry it in your back
pocket and walk at the same time.

RECEIPT
Proof of the purchase of goods. There are two distinct types of
receip
- the receipt that sits in your wallet for the best part of a
year before you clean it out, and then pops up again regularly
for the rest of your life, in desk drawers, stuck in books as
bookmarks, or attached to the fridge with a magnet
- the receipt that you think you put safely somewhere, but can't
find when the goods that you bought falls apart/breaks down/
causes you to want to return the goods, for whatever reason....
