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 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.
