How Retired People Have Fun
Working people frequently ask retired folks what they do to make their days interesting...
I went to the store the other day. I was in there for only about five minutes. When I came out there was a city cop writing out a parking ticket.
I went up to him and said, "Come on, buddy, how about giving a senior a break?"
He ignored me and continued writing the ticket.
I called him a name. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn tires.
So I called him a worse name. 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.
I didn't care. My car was parked around the corner and this one had a "Kerry-Edwards" bumper sticker on it.
I try to have a little fun each day now that I'm retired.
It's important at our age.
