I got this from a retired friend of mine, a former South Dakotan who now lives in Florida:
Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting. Well, for example, the other day I went down town to go to the newsstand for the Wall Street Journal so I could track my investments. I was only in there for about 5 minutes.
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. 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.
