Retirement Can Be Interesting!

[Ed]

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 five minutes and when I came out, there was a copwriting out a parking ticket.

I went up to him and said, "Come on, man, how about giving a retired person on a fixed income 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 writing the second ticket and started writing a third one. This went on for about 20 minutes. The more I abused him verbally, 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!
