The Joy of Being Retired

[genealogynut]

I laughed until I almost cried at the following:


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 continues 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 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.
