　　Selma and Marty are going to Morocco. Selma has just finished packing:

　　S: Ta-da! I'm ready to roll.

　　M: Is there anything left in the closet? You've packed two gigantic1 bags for us!

　　S: Us? This is just my stuff.

　　M: What?! Shouldn't we be aiming for one small bag each?

　　S: The more we take, the smaller the chance of forgetting something.

　　M: I have a better way: a week or so before I pack, I start jotting down essential items as I use them.

　　S: That does make sense; if I did that, it wouldn't be like last time, when I forgot my hairbrush.

　　M: And your toothbrush. And your deodorant. And--

　　S: At least take a peek inside my bags -- I think you'll agree my packing methods are up to snuff.

　　M: Ha! Your unmentionables are all over the place! The trick is to pack neatly, you know, grouping similar items together.

　　S: Well, at least I packed my valuables at the bottom of one of the bags,swheresthey'll be safe.

　　M: Your passport?! Your plane ticket?! Your medication?!-- what if that bag gets lost?

　　S: On second thought, maybe crucial items should go in my carry-on.

　　M: Good idea. But first, Selma, take out the cowboy hat -- and the hair dryer!
