I am scheduled for a colonectomy(SP) Tuesday January 20, 2009.

I will be getting on a more personal level what the rest
of Americans will get on this death of our Republic.:)

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

Well, for example, the other day I went downtown and into a shop. I was only there for about 5 minutes, and when I came out, there was a 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.

I called him a ‘Nazi.’

He glared at me and wrote 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 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, and the car that he was putting the tickets on had a bumper sticker that said, ‘Obama in ‘08 .’

I try to have a little fun each day now that I’m retired. It’s important to my health.

Here's hoping you mean colonoscopy (just the scope test)....

I had my first hernia surgery the very day Clinton beat Papa Bush....being unable to sleep from the hurt following, that entire night was excruciating until I gave up and turned off the TV.
