That Rubber Thingy

An old man gets on a crowded bus and no one gives him a seat.

As the bus shakes and rattles,

The old man’s cane slips on the floor and he falls down.

As he gets up, a seven-year-old kid, sitting nearby, turns to him and says,

“If you put a little rubber thingy on the end of your stick,

It wouldn’t slip.”

The old man snaps back,

“Well, if your daddy did the same thing seven years ago,

I would have a seat today.
