I think it's pretty clearly tongue-in-cheek. It's dripping with sarcasm, so I'd give the guy a break.

NEVER flown with more than 1 pants. Except for that IOE incident, never had a pants failure.
I DO have a paper checklist of "stuff" I need for a trip. Pretty sad, but my more senior brain cells are starting to fail.
- Company ID
- Wallet
- iPad
- Passport
etc. I even have emergency cash in my headset pouch. Enough for a steak and a beer on a layover.

..."spectacles, testicles, wallet and watch" was the first thing that came to mind when I read your post. 
btw, you use a paper checklist? I have mine in my phone calendar! Nothing wrong with checklists!

Yes, the amount of crap necessary to pull off a successful trip can be way too high, but creature comforts are important.
The company stuff alone is way too much. I've got a plotter, still new in wrap, that is 25 years old. Never used it, but it's apparently necessary for the safety of flight.

My ex used to say that I looked like I was doing the Macarena when checking for the crap in front pockets, back pocket and around my neck. I was simply doing a verbal count--keys=1, passport=2...
I'll do it a couple of times in the hotel room before putting the baggage puzzle together, and then I'll do it again after the puzzle is complete.
The one time I didn't do it at home, I had done the 35 minute drive to the lot and rode the 15 minutes to the terminal to find out I had forgotten my ID.
