Fun for Retirees
This is a hoot!

From my Mom, who is 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 five 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 "Reelect George W. Bush" bumper sticker on it. I try to have a little fun each day now that I'm retired. It's important at our age.

3. When I first read this thing
the car being ticketed had a Kerry sticker on it.

Both sides are using this story, so it's undoubtedly somebody's wishful thinking, a total fake.
