From an email:
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 5
MINUTES.
WHEN I CAME OUT THERE WAS A JEFFERSON PARISH COP
WRITING OUT A
PARKING TICKET.
I WENT UP TO HIM AND SAID, "COME ON BUDDY, DON'T BE A
JERK. HOW ABOUT GIVING A SENIOR A BREAK?"
HE IGNORED ME AND CONTINUED WRITING THE TICKET.
I CALLED HIM A BAD NAME. HE GLARED AT ME AND STARTED
WRITING ANOTHER TICKET FOR HAVING WORN TIRES.
SO I CALLED HIM A WAY 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 AN "ELECT JOHN KERRY" BUMPER STICKER ON
IT.
I TRY TO HAVE A LITTLE FUN EACH DAY NOW THAT I'M
RETIRED.
IT'S IMPORTANT AT OUR AGE
