Take on the politically incorrect collection plate

I walked into an office today and noticed a number of collection tins
sitting on the counter. Now although I have some issues with this
kind of charity (see My Blue Heaven), I do see it as altruistic.
I have noticed how little money these thing seem to collect but again
they are generally harmless. That is except when you add an Israeli
lack of filter -which can only be matched by a Dutch lack of filter-to
what is essentially a good cause....
The can clearly states "for retarded children" which of course is a
very worthy charitable cause but not exactly theist politically
correct way of stating it. No wonder the can was nearly empty
