    Talking Retired

    Working people frequently ask retired people what theydo to make their days interesting.Well, for example, the other day I went downtown and into a shop. I was only there for about 5 minutes, and when I came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket.I said to him, '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 wrote 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 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, and 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

    I would have done the same...it's the least one can do!

    You da man. Maybe that guy will be paying so much in tickets, that he won't be able to make any political contributions.

    What would have really been funny is if after about a dozen tickets you told him it's not your car.
