Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make

their days interesting. Thought you might like to see what happened to

me last week.

I went downtown 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 Nazi. He glared at me and started writing another ticket

for having worn tires. So I called him a piece of horseshit. 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 give a crap. My car was parked around the

corner. I try to have a little fun each day. It's important at my age.
