Retired People ( You Got To Love'em )

Featured Replies

Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting. We really have no trouble in finding interesting things to do. For example, the other day I went downtown to go to the newsstand for the Wall Street Journal so I could track my investments. I was only in there for about 5 minutes. When I came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket. I said tohim, "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 wrote another ticket for having worn tires. So I called him a "donut eating Gestapo." He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first.Then he wrote 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. I don't know who owned The car that he was putting the tickets on.

I try to have a little fun each day now that I'm retired. . ;D

This is something that Avid or Long Mike would do. ;D

Have done.  Where do you think this story originated from? ;)

Years ago my mother and father retired and moved to Bradenton/Palmetto, Florida.  For fun, the retired folks would sit at the corner of 59th and Manatee Ave to watch all of the car wrecks.  There is at least 10-20 a day depending on how busy the outlet mall is.  I guess if you have a pulse they will give a driver's license to anybody down there.  

Most of the accidents are old folks driving big cars, real slow so there is not much damage or injury done but there sure is a lot of yelling going on.  

These guys need to pick up a hobby.... :)

I have no recollection of that event.  

That's because memory's the first thing to go.
