I guess. But Jack Bauer carries a bag, sometimes. Maybe it depends on what you carry in it.

The words “Man” and “Bag” cannot be combined into a single word.

Doesn’t matter how we feel about metrosexuals, it’s pretty bad when people will attempt to kill someone for a clothing accessory.

Its happening over here also. There have been several incidents in the SF Mission district where laptop owners have been stabbed/slashed for their computer bag/laptop. Sort of a low tech/high tech “purse snatching”. Apparently the local trash have figured out that the bag has something more valuable in it than paperwork
