What retired people do.....

[John Parry]

Thought some of our members might appreciate this one.....

"Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting.

Well for example, the other day Marilyn and I went into town and went into a shop. We were only in there for about 5 minutes. When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket.

We went up to him and said, "Come on man, how about giving a senior citizen a break?" He ignored us and continued writing the ticket. I called him a Nazi t*rd. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn tyres.

So Marilyn called him a s***head. 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 we abused him, the more tickets he wrote.

Personally, we didn't care, because we came into town by bus. We try to have a little fun each day now that we're retired. It's important at our age"

As for

I don't know. I never got around to retiring. Maybe I'll think about it tomorrow.

I think I once mentioned that some years ago I applied to join the Procrastinator's Club. Should have a reply any decade now.

Oh I do appreciate that story. It is far more than a mere chuckle. It's a classic.
"A policeman's lot is not a happy one" but I'll wager even they had a good hearty laugh over this episode.

I have been retired lo these 7 lovely years.
I am much too busy enjoying the enjoyable and dismissing the rest to be harassing our police.
Politicians and bureaucrats and journalists and pompous martinets and other nogoodnicks yes. I've got them on my list.
But police, never.

I just posted it as I received it. The source was obviously American (cop instead of policeman, windshield instead of windscreen). Over here we have parking meter attendants - who tend to be figures of hatred. No-one here would have turned a hair had the joke been directed at them, but it wouldn't have worked - they can only give tickets for parking offences. It had to be a policeman for the subsequent tickets.

It was just a joke!!

"It was just a joke!!.

And a darned good one.
It's a good thing I wasn't eating Bran Flakes.

John:

It was good enough I stole it for my column in a local weekly newspaper. Didn't use last names and did note at the end that it probably didn't happen but was really funny anyway.
