pocket shredder

 paper shredder incorporated into your trouser pocket.

we have all been caught on occasion, out of the office and needing to shred a small document.

with this ingenious device, you just pop the paper in your pocket and the little mashing gears go straight into action. the throb of the machinery feels rather pleasant as does the warmth generated. quite nice on a cold day and not uncomfortable even in summer.

dispose of the evidence, I mean the residual waste by shaking the bottom of your trouser leg over the cats litter tray or any nearby paper bin.

       you say that as if it might be the slightest bit interesting.   

       OP, you must remember to keep your hands in the right pocket, or is that the left pocket? whoops.
