Working without a lanyard

[Danvrapp]

Anyone work without a lanyard? I worked on it all summer so I could do it during the season and not drop the Fox, and I'm happy to say I haven't dropped one yet.

However, I had an assigner at the game several nights ago and he asked for one good reason why I do it, and I couldn't come up with a good one, so I told him I didn't have any reason in particular. My personal reason is I figure everyone needs their niche, and maybe that would be mine...??? Unfortunately, I have no better reason than that for why I work without one.

What I'm asking from you is to provide me with one solid benefit to working without a lanyard. Yes, I keep a noose and whistle under my stripes for 'emergency' use, but haven't had to use it...so far!

Can you think of a good reason?
