What's in your pocket?

I need to carry a hanky, but as of now the only thing I have in my pocket is an Apple Jolly Rancher.

I used to feel this way about a needle, but I've found that looking for a ball out of a stack of balls usually yields all balls that are over-inflated.

Now I carry a needle and I only deal with one ball. I do get some funny looks from the occasional coach, but I'm okay with that.

Last Tuesday I had a ball where I must've removed about 10 seconds worth of air. I bounced the ball from 6 feet and it must've come up about 5.5 feet.
