My guess would be: - Your hand? My second guess targetted at a trick question is: - Nothing at all If this is not true, please compare with the following list: - A small stone, or a ring - Chewing gum, or some other kind of candy - A pencil - A hole - a small photograph of someone close The following definition might gives further clues: http://www.dictionary.com/search?q=pocket Following on that, we get: - you have air in your pocket - in it is ore, grain, or other materials - other small articles Some research on the web; entering "What is in my pocket" at Google yields the following pages: "Guess What is in My Pocket" http://www.expage.com/guesswhatisinmypocket "Riddles, riddles, everywhere... - www.ezboard.com" (cached version) http://216.239.39.100/search?q=cache:T2AlpJomZvAC:pub95.ezboard.com/fhammyshangoutfrm3.showMessage%3FtopicID%3D19.topic%26index%3D76+%22what+is+in+my+pocket%22&hl=en So, regarding those resources we add: - a tooth pick - a bead - "My precioussssssesssss!!! MINE!"* *In reference to J.R.R. Tolkien Let's try to be practical. What do I have in my pocket usually, that you might have too? - small amounts of money - A key, or a wallet If this is a philosophical question, I should say: - Your pocket contains another pocket, which also contains a pocket (ad infinitum) A psychological approach: - Your pocket contains comfort, escape, and a place to feel home Logic results in: - Your pocket contains what your pocket contains (tautology) I hope this was of help, and thanks for the question. |

I know! A seam... without a seam you wouldn't even have a pocket. The seam allows 2 sections of cloth to be sewn together, making it a pocket. ;) tlspiegel-ga |

I find these questions are best approached empirically rather than through the realm of ontological speculation. Perhaps you should just look in your pocket and find out. (Many pockets can be turned inside-out to facillitate this sort of investigation---though the nature of "in" may change). |

Knowledge_Seeker-ga's answer of "no tea" is very appealing. I usually have no tea in my pocket most of the time. On those occasions when I find that I have failed to have no tea in my pocket I usually find that I have tea in my pocket instead, and although this seems very logical I have found this to be a somewhat messier state for a pocket to be in. However, one day I found that I had both tea and no tea in my pocket at the same time (a rather improbable eigen-state for a pocket to be in), but now I can't remember how I was able to fit both of them in there at the same time. It may have had something to do with someone's cat, which, if it had been alive at the time would have almost certainly lapped up the tea and caused it to no longer be in my pocket, unless there were an observer present who might make a loud noise such as "eh-h-h!!! get way from that pocket!!!" in order to scare the cat away and thereby get all of the tea for himself and leave no tea for the cat. Also of possible significance is that there are two teas in "forty-two" and no tea in "fnord". |

What else? The One Ring. Do anyone here read Tolkien? The HobbiT? |

If I said "A coin is in my pocket" then a coin is in my pocket. Therefore if I say "What is in my pocket", I'd suggest an object or thing called "what" may be the answer! |

I believe a more appropriate question would be, "what have I got in my pocketses?" |
