- well, there are two other sorts of instances that encourage one to think in a
- manner similar to the question you pose. #1) where does your lap go when you
- stand up? It certainly isn't in the same spot as it was, if even it still
- exists. #2) if home is where you hang your hat, and you hang your hat at some
- other person's home, do you automatically reposess their house? if you hang
- your hat up at work, does the company become yours? there are an endless
- number of possibilities here.
