It can get you a foot in the door with some women. It can be used as a napkin in an emergency. It is one of the few reminders of our service time that actually fits today. Sorry as I know you're being serious but I couldn't resist. | ||

Also a WWII sailor I knew once told how having the spare change in the neckerchief once protected him from some guys who tried to rob him and his shipmate. Seems it packed a wallop when swung.
