I was riding the subway this morning when I noticed a young woman got on. She was physically challenged and needed a cane to walk. The car was pretty full and I was standing nearby as she struggled to take her place among the commuters.

I watched the people that had seats stare at this woman. Yet, nobody got up so she could sit down. One girl, after watching this lady wrestle with her cane, closed her eyes and pulled the old "I'm sleeping so I can't see you" gambit.

At that point I couldn't take it any more. So I walked over, kicked out her cane and screamed down at her. "How dare you make us all uncomfortable with your affliction!" I yelled. "Do you think your withered leg makes you better than us? Because it DOESN'T!"

Hey, that's just the kind of guy I am. Any one of you would have done the same.
