The shifty answer would be ... 'amusing answer below' ...
But to get into the spirit of things, I'd say for the Gulf interview - to lay my cards on the table - a copy of the Economist ... that is of course with a blah blah conference bag (containing a sarnie) slung over my shoulder ...
You? |

| I'm not clever enough to think ahead about what to conspicuously carry with me, so it would probably be a bottle of water and whatever I'd brought along to read on the bus... |

I'd have the rest of my body. Disembodied limbs generally don't go down too well in interviews.
a definition of embarassment: cutting your arms off, walking into a pub and shouting, 'don't worry about me, I'm already legless!', then realizing you'd f*cked up the punchline.  |
