The proof that chivalry is dead can be found on a crowded train out of Downtown LA toward Long Beach at the peak of rush hour. Actually, I guess it could be found anywhere crowded and first-come-first-serve seating is involved. The seats were all filled. A few men peppered the aisle seats.

So Eric started ripping on how that guy would be trying to pick up chicks with that car.
