A five-panel comic set on a bus. A father and his young red-haired son sit on a seat. The father says, "Son, offer that woman your seat." The son asks, "Why? She's able-bodied." The father explains earnestly, "Women have to go through the pain of childbirth! The least a gentleman can do is offer his seat." The son counters, "What about infertile women?" In the final panel the father, now flustered and sweating, blurts out, "They stand!" Votey (aftercomic): a rough sketch of the same father's face, sweating and grimacing as his logic spirals, adding, "Especially the elderly!"
