"Ladies and Gentlemen, courtesy is contagious and it begins with you," says the automated announcement on my 5 train. Bullshit. Here is some unPC profiling/giving up your seat for me stats.

Oh, a few people also wished me and the baby well. You can draw any conclusions you want. All I need to know is if I park myself by a seated, well-fed Caucasian male from the Upper East Side, I will keep standing for the rest of the ride.
Because you see... courtesy, common decency, and general manners, they are not contagious, they are cultivated...sometimes by a gentle smack on the head at a tender age. So my little fetus, when she grows up, she better get her butt off the seat and offer it to some exhausted pregnant lady (wishing her well is optional, you gotta be outgoing and sincere with a slightly raspy voice: "Good luck to you, baby. Be careful out there...")
