If you saw Scorsese's "The Aviator" last year, then you know that billionaire inventor Howard Hughes developed an obsessive-compulsive order when it came to germs. Surely, he never would have taken a ride on the New York City subway, which isn't exactly known for its cleanliness. Well, there's a company in Boston that has created the perfect subway "transit strap" for anyone who's ever had a bout of Howard Hughes-style obsessive-compulsiveness:

"Our premium quality products dramatically enhance a public transit experience. The patent-pending TranStrap™ provides a comfortable, hygienic, personal
handhold that securely grips the overhead bar yet goes on and off easily and
stows in a purse or pocket."
