Working people frequently ask retired people what they
do to make their days interesting. Well, for example,
the other day I went down town 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 20 minutes. The more I
abused him, the more tickets he wrote.
Personally, I didn't care. I came down town
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.
