- Danger Mouse poses the problem:
- "Okay, but what about in trains? This is a problem I faced this morning,
- on my way into university. There were no seats available, and precious
- little room on the floor to put anything down (I put my backpack down
- standing vertically between my feet). I could take my hat off, but then
- I would have to carry it in my hand the entire trip (~40 minutes). Also,
- this makes it difficult to read a book - which I usually do on trains,
- since 40 minutes otherwise unoccupied is pretty boring. So, what to do?"
