OT - A funny from the Car Talk website

From the Car Talk website. Enjoy.


Being Retired

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 Nazi. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for
having worn tires.

So I called him a piece of horse *)$#. 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 darn.

My car was parked around the corner.

I try to have a little fun each day now that I'm retired. It's important at
my age.

This sounds like my father. He was an ornery old cuss. Only, they
would have recognized him coming....
