“I saw a sign on the train saying, ‘Please give this seat to an elderly person’” (joke)

Some seats on buses and trains—usually those near the exits—are suggested for the elderly and disabled. A joke was posted on Twitter by Sickipedia Official on June 2, 2013:
 
“Saw a sign on the train saying ‘please give this seat to an elderly person’ so i unscrewed it and took it to my grandads house.”
 
The joke was originally posted on the Sickipedia website.

ON the bus last week, my pal saw a sign that said: “Please give this seat to an elderly person.”
 
So he unscrewed it and took it to his granny’s house.
