>Last Monday, I was riding home from work in a fairly
>crowded subway. Sitting next to me was a Holden
>Caulfield-type high school student with a writing pad. He
>was scribbling away when a cute girl about his age got on
>our subway car. She looked tired and went straight for the
>only seat available, the one next to the boy.
>
>Yet as she neared it, she noticed that that seat was
>covered in some unidentifiable (though dried) substance.
>Not saying a word, though obviously disappointed, she
>decided to stand.

>Looking from the seat to the girl's crestfallen face,
>without speaking, the boy tore the sheet he was writing
>upon out of his notebook, folded it into a little cushion
>and gallantly draped it over the seat for the girl to sit
>upon. Blushing bright red, she took her seat next to the
>chivalric boy; the two sat side by side in silence all the
>way to 125th Street.
