This came around a while back, but just in case you didn't see it....

The other day I went downtown and went into a shop. I was only in there
for about 5 minutes. When I came out 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 thug." 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. The car that he was
putting the tickets on 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
to my health.
