WORKING PEOPLE FREQUENTLY ASK RETIRED PEOPLE WHAT THEY DO TO MAKE THEIR
DAYS INTERESTING.

I WENT TO THE STORE THE OTHER DAY.
I WAS ONLY IN THERE FOR ABOUT 5 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 "ELECT JOHN KERRY" BUMPER STICKER ON IT.

I TRY TO HAVE A LITTLE FUN EACH DAY NOW THAT I'M RETIRED.

IT'S SOOOOO IMPORTANT AT OUR AGE.........
