And when I saw it back in the day, I laughed my goddamn ass off.

The reason I sit in the back of the bus?

|=================> 97% - I don't have to give up my seat to old people.
|==> 2%                 - I can rest my head on the corner.
|=> 1%                  - I can rest assured no one is staring at me.

And for future reference for everyone, original credit for this is due to mongychops on b3ta.

[–]JackAction 0 points1 point ago

I wish mongy would do cheery tomato again.

[–]Deathspawner 0 points1 point ago

Might be old, but I've never seen it before (somehow). Hilarious pic though, I LOL'd.

[–]sheldonismyfather 4 points5 points ago

Such bad photoshop... shiver

[–]FreeThinkerLee 3 points4 points ago

photoshop skills inferior.

[–]31stan 1 point2 points ago

This is the first thing I loled at all day.

[–]mallardtheduck 0 points1 point ago

Could at least have used two images from the same country...

[–]hugocrepax 1 point2 points ago

There's a Don "Duck" Edwing gag from Mad Magazine in the 80's I had that used this joke. It was a big dumb guy on the subway reading the sign saying "please give this seat to the elderly" so he picks it up and plops it on some old ladies lap. This is around 1987, I think. Might have been on the back cover and might have been one spoofing Aliens. I mostly collected from '86-'90 as a kid.

[–]Arbpink34 -1 points0 points ago

I actually laughed out loud at this

[–]MrKrazybones 1 point2 points ago

Idk, I think this image is shopped guys

[–]Ozomahtlii 0 points1 point ago

finally an image on r/funny that actually made me laugh

[–]Tomstephens -1 points0 points ago

love the thumbs up coming in from the side

"It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice!"

[–]coriamon 0 points1 point ago

Clearly the guy who took these photos didn't read that right. Or! Not and/or!

[–]azboy11 0 points1 point ago

It's twice as nice because he's giving it to the elderly AND the disabled.

[–]swimteampie 0 points1 point ago

Tastes stale, doesn't it?

[–]DeLoreanMotorCars -1 points0 points ago

I'll take Things I saw on /b/ in 2004 for 300, Alex.

[–]Kristyyyyyyy 1 point2 points ago

This is the picture that convinced me to stop lurking and join reddit. Not because it's funny, but because I know that guy, and I wanted to comment to say "hey, I know that guy!"

[–]meaintrussell 0 points1 point ago

It's my first time seeing this. LOL'ed.

[–]Ragnalypse 0 points1 point ago

Another victim of the grammatically challenged notice poster. He was actually saying 'Give this seat to the elderly, or you'll be disabled.'

[–]Shenanigans2012 0 points1 point ago

Looks fake tbh and in my opinion.

[–]djschmot 1 point2 points ago

No way this is shopped

[–]SRS_are_cunts -1 points0 points ago

Now he's got 2 seats. Which is clearly more than he needs. He's probably a hoarder.

[–]femaiden 0 points1 point ago

Goddammit, I'm recognizing things I saw on /b/ now. ylyl thread
