You are going home in a crowded bus.  What can you do to break the rut?
Here is the Top Ten list of fun things to do in a crowded bus.

          1) Pick a random person of the opposite sex.  She/he should be
             almost completely out of range from your vision, so you can
             turn with absolutely no discretion and look at her/him one
             time or another [1].
          2) Start making guttural sounds.  Loudly.
          3) Talk to yourself.  How your day was, how you got rid of your
             ingrown toenail, whatever.
          4) If you are carrying many things, start juggling them.  Be it
             oranges, knives, pencils or fire extinguishers.
          5) If you are alone, start a sing-along.  It is good social
             presence for you.
          6) Start a meaningless discussion about anything at all with the
             driver.
          7) Toss papers with the word "turn" written on both sides... to
             several people.
          8) Sell candy and make a very convincing `emergency-exit' speech,
	     as it is done in airplanes.  (No, I mean it!)
          9) Practise that last dance you've learned with your friends
	     at work.
         10) Write stupid lists about anything at all.

Following these hints will surely make your everyday commuting much
healthier and innovative.
