The other day I went downtown to run a few errands. I went into the
local coffee shop for a snack. I was only there for about 5 minutes, and
when I came out, there was this 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. His insensitivity
annoyed me, so I called him a ‘Nazi.’ He glared at me and then wrote out
another ticket for having worn tires. So I proceeded to call 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 when I called him a moron in blue… This
went on for about 20 minutes. The more I talked back to him the more
tickets he wrote.
Personally, I didn’t really care. I came downtown on the bus, and the
car that he was putting the tickets on had one of those bumper stickers
that said, ’ Obama ‘08.’
I try to have a little fun each day now that I’m retired. The doctor
tells me that it’s important for my health.
