O/T: Working People

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

Well, for example, the other day the wife and I went into town--and
into a
little shop.

We were only in there for about 5 minutes.

When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket.

We went up to him and I said, 'Come on man, how about giving a senior
citizen a break?'

He ignored us and continued writing the ticket.

I called him a moron.

He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn
tires.

So my wife called him a stupid insensitive shit head.

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, and the more we verbally abused
him,
the more tickets he wrote.

Just then our bus arrived.

We try to have a little fun each day now that we're retired.

It's important at our age.

So, the *real* answer is that you get to go around and shit disturb.

Sounds like a blast!

Sounds like Diana Trent (an excellent Stephanie Cole) on the BBC1 series _Waiting for God_.

Probably did.

Which speaks volumes about the attitude of the "progressives."

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

Well, for example, the other day my wife and I went into town and went
into a shop.

We were only in there for about 5 minutes. When we came out, there was a
cop writing out a parking ticket...

We went up to him and said, 'Come on man, how about giving a senior
citizen a break?'

He ignored us and continued writing the ticket. I called him a Nazi
turd. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having
worn tires.

So my wife called him a shit-head. 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 we abused him, the
more tickets he wrote.

Personally, we didn't care... We came into town by bus and the car had
an Obama sticker. We try to have a little fun each day now that we're
retired. It's important at our age.

Luckily it's only a joke. That kind of action would get a person some
seriously nasty karma points. And if the owner caught them, a quick
death.

John and Helen met while on vacation, and John fell head over heels in love
with her. And, after a couple of weeks in which John took Helen out to
various dance clubs, restaurants, concerts, etc., he was convinced that it
was true love.

So.....on the last night of his vacation, the two of them went to
dinner and had a serious talk about how the relationship would continue.
"It's only fair to warn you, I'm a total golf nut," John said to his
new-found lady friend... "I eat, sleep and breathe golf, so if that's going
to be a problem, you'd better say so now!"

Helen took a deep breath and responded: "Since we're being honest
with each other, here goes ..... you need to know that I'm a hooker." "I
see," John replied. "That's a problem, for sure." He spent some time looking
down at the table, deep in thought.

Then he said, "You know, it's probably because you're not keeping your
wrists straight when you tee off."
