SWEET!

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.

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 "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. The car that he was putting the tickets on had one of those bumper stickers that said, "Obama in '08."

I try to have a little fun each day now that I'm retired. The doctor tells me that it's important to my health.
