Taken last Saturday on an LRT-2 train....

Confusing? Let me explain.

Two dudes around my age were seated right under a sign that says "Please vacate the designated seats for disabled passengers." I got a bit annoyed, because both of them seemed healthy to me.

But then I thought that the sign is poorly worded. You can argue that "please vacate the designated seats for disabled passengers" means that you're technically allowed to sit there; you're only required to please vacate the seats if a disabled passengers comes along. However, the Filipino version of the sign is a more emphatic "Huwag uupuan ang mga upuang nakalaan para sa mga pasaherong may kapansanan." Translation: "Don't sit on the seats reserved for disabled passengers." So, no dice for that theory.

I was about to brand them as inconsiderate assholes when I suddenly figured out why they were sitting in those seats. Maybe they really were disabled passengers... mentally disabled passengers! Yes, of course! That's the only rational explanation! Poor retards.

I felt so bad for them that I almost wanted to give them some candy. Too bad I didn't have any. I did have some gum, but I wasn't sure that it would be a good idea. I wouldn't want them to accidentally choke to death you know. Hey, retards are people too, and I'm a compassionate guy.

Yay!
