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 completely ignored me and continued writing the ticket so, in a very calm voice I said "what a jerk". He glared at me for a second or two, then started writing another ticket for having worn tires. So I called him a "doughnut eating flat-foot." He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he started writing a third ticket. This went on and on for about 20 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. |
