So I was in the NYC subway this morning and noticed that a local sports talk radio station has started a new ad campaign allegedly to promote politeness and civility on the subway. One poster reads:

"PLEASE GIVE UP YOUR SEAT TO A PREGNANT WOMAN unless, of course, she's wearing a Red Sox hat."

Only 4 more days.....!

Russ-You DO understand that it's a humorous line not intended to be taken seriously, don't you?

[Arlene]

In case I've offended any Red Sox fans with a sense of humor, maybe I can make it up by putting up this link to a photo that brought a smile to my face:
