The Joy of Being Retired
Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to
make their days interesting.
Well, for example, the other day I went downtown and went into a shop.
I was only in there for about 5 minutes and when I came out
there was a cop writing out a parking ticket.
I went up to him and said, "Come on, man, how about giving a
retired person a break"? He ignored me and continued writing the ticket.
I called him a "Nazi." He glared at me and started writing
another ticket for having worn tires.
So I called him a "doughnut eating Gestapo."
He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield
with the first. Then he started writing a third ticket.
This went on for about 10-15 minutes.
The more I abused him, the more tickets he wrote.
Personally, I didn't care. I came downtown on the bus and the
car that he was putting the tickets on had a bumper sticker that said
"Hillary in '08."
I try to have a little fun each day now that I'm retired. It's
important to my health.
