The ideal travel companion...

...Is one who doesn't talk to you while on the journey, makes no fuss when you want to move about the compartment, and doesn't need to go the restaurant car at odd times. In other words a dead body. Somebody travelling with their dad on Amtrak didnt tell anybody he was dead, so she didn't have the expense of shipping his body home - well I suppose they had paid for the sleeper car already...
