Working people often ask retired people what they find to do during the day. Well, here is an amusing story that my brother emailed me.“The other day my husband and I went into town to do some shopping. We were only in the shop for a few minutes but, when we came out, there was a traffic warden writing out a parking ticket. We went up to him and my husband said, “Come on old chap, how about giving a senior citizen a break?” The warden ignored us and continued writing out the ticket. I called him a Nazi. He glared at me and started writing out another ticket for having worn tyres. So my husband called him a moron. He finished the second ticket and put it on the windscreen with the first one. Then he started writingout a third ticket. This went on for about 20 minutes. The more we insulted him, the more tickets he wrote.
Personally, we didn’t care. We came into town by bus.
We try to have a little fun each day now that we’re retired. It’s important at our age.”
