Commuting aid for the short and/or hypochondriac PART TWO
I can’t find the fricking picture on the web, but the book 101 Useless Japanese Inventions shows a similar little invention – a plunger with a strap-like handle on the other end. You basically suction the plunger to the top of the train and straphang wherever you wish.
Here’s two other weird, train rider inventions for yo’ ass…
This one’s so you can sleep standing up, or I guess hang yourself on a subway.

This one’s so you can go to sleep and someone will wake you before your stop.

Those are great. I think I’ve seen the suction cup helmet one before. There was another one that I looked for, but I coudn’t find. It was a rope hammock seat that you suspend from the overhead hand bars with hooks.
