What do you put in your briefcase?

Besides tv and the movies, I have never seen anyone carry a briefcase. For those of you that carry briefcases regularly, what do you put in them? Are they giant lunchboxes or do you actually carry a lot of important documents in them?

It's important to have fresh breath after that pre-lunch Australian kiss.

Right now I carry a JCrew shopping bag in place of a briefcase/permanent bag. I put my lunch, a book or magazine I'm reading and...that's it.

After almost two years of carrying my briefcase around, I just realized that the same papers are in there that I put in there at the beginning. So now, I don't carry it around anymore. In fact, carrying a briefcase had a tremendous downside: it always gave me away when I was leaving work early (or coming in late for that matter). So, I ditched it.

If I need to go to court or a deposition or something, I'll carry a lit bag.

Why do you carry underwear in your briefcase?

I actually use a hard-sided leather laptop bag, but it works great for me because it serves essentially the same purpose as a briefcase but I can put my computer in it without switching bags. When my laptop isn't in it I carry-

-Work papers if I need to take them home, in travel, whatever
-Magazine or book
-Mints and spare change
-Extra pens/pencils
That's really about it.

I think a better question is what in the hell do people put into those humongous-ass "I'm gonna climb Kilimanjaro during my lunch hour" backpacks that they carry to work?
