The Joy of being Retired

By
Real Estate Agent with Century 21 Olde Tyme BRE # 01405647


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 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  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.

If you know anyone that needs a good laugh pass this on.

Doug, 

 

I must say that I started my day in a bit of a sour mood. After reading this post however, I feel much better.

 

Wishing you the best for a successful/productive week and year in 2007!!!

My wife and I are regulars at a local restaurant/bar, and we became friends with another retired couple there.  When we first asked him what being retired was like the said, "It is great, it is like we have 6 Saturdays and 1 Sunday every week."
