BEING RETIRED
 
 
 
Working people frequently ask retired people what we do to make our Days interesting.
 
 
 
Well, for example, the other day I went downtown to go to the News Stand for the Wall Street Journal so I could track my investments. I was only in there for about 5 minutes.  When I came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket.
 
 
 
I said to him, 'Come on, man, don't you have anything better to do than write a retired person a ticket?  Why aren't you out chasing crooks or child molesters...that's out of your league, obviously!!!
 
 
 
He ignored me and continued writing the ticket.  I called him a 'Nazi.' He glared at me and wrote another ticket for having worn tires.
 
 
 
So I called him 'Barney Fife'.
 
 
 
He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he wrote 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. The car that he was putting the tickets on had a bumper sticker that said   'OBAMA in '08.'
 
 
 
I try to have a little fun each day now that I'm retired. It's important to my health!

Sounds like a fun day. How do you stand all that excitement? Seriously, you should write a book.

Have fun!

I can't take credit for this. It's a joke I C&P'D from another place. I will say though, given a chance, I would do this.

It is a lot easier to wait until the cop leaves and take the tickets to the nearest trash container.

Now you know why I do not park downtown.

Did I really say that, oh my goodness?
