				Getting A Parking Ticket
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			The other day I went downtown to run a few errands. I went into the local coffee shop for a snack. 
 
I was only there for about 5 minutes, and when I came out, there was this cop writing out a parking ticket. 
 
I said to him, 'Come on, man, how about giving a retired person a break'? 
He ignored me and continued writing the ticket. His insensitivity annoyed me, so I called him a 'Nazi.' 
 
He glared at me and then wrote out another ticket for having worn tires. 
 
So I proceeded to call him a 'doughnut eating Gestapo.' He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. 
 
Then he wrote a third ticket when I called him a moron in blue. 
 
This wen t on for about 20 minutes. The more I talked back to him the more tickets he wrote. 
 
Personally, I didn't really care. I came downtown on the bus, and the 
car that he was putting the tickets on had one of those bumper stickers that said, 'Obama in '08.' 
 
I try to have a little fun each day now that I'm retired. 
 
The doctor tells me that it's important to my health.
