[Scouts Out]

WHAT RETIRED PEOPLE DO

Working people frequently ask what retired do to make life interesting.
Well, for example, the other day I went down town and went into a shop.
I didn't stay long--maybe five minutes. When I came out a cop was
writing a parking ticket.

I went up to him and said, "C'mon, man, how about giving a retired
person a break?"

He ignored me. So, I called him a Nazi. He glared at me and began
writing another ticket for worn tires.

I called him a lousy donut-eating Gestapo. He finished the second
ticket and added it to the first one already on the windshield. Then he
started writing a third ticket. The more verbal abuse I heaped on him,
the more tickets he wrote. This went on for about 20 minutes.

Personally, I don't care. I came down town on the bus and the car he was
putting the ticket on had a bumper sticker that said "Hillary in '08."

I try to have a little fun each day. It's important to my health.
