Retirement - Baby Boomer Style

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

Well, for example, the other day I went downtown and went into a shop. I was only in there for about 5 minutes and when I came out and there was a cop writing out a parking ticket. I went up to him and said, “Come on, man, how about giving a retired person a break”?

He ignored me and continued writing the ticket. I called him a “Nazi. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn tires. So I called him a “doughnut-eating Gestapo.” 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.

Personally, I didn’t care.

I came downtown on the bus, and the car that he was putting the tickets on was a car that had a bumper sticker that said “Hillary in ‘08.”

I try to have a little fun each day now that I’m retired. It’s important for my health.
