Message from a Retiree

Posted on 09/20/2004 7:20:46 AM PDT by LOC1

MESSAGE FROM A RETIREE:

WORKING PEOPLE FREQUENTLY ASK RETIRED PEOPLE WHAT THEY DO TO MAKE THEIR DAYS INTERESTING.

I WENT TO THE STORE THE OTHER DAY. I WAS ONLY IN THERE FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES. WHEN I CAME OUT THERE WAS A CITY COP WRITING OUT A PARKING TICKET.

I WENT UP TO HIM AND SAID, "COME ON, BUDDY, HOW ABOUT GIVING A SENIOR A BREAK?" HE IGNORED ME AND CONTINUED WRITING THE TICKET. I CALLED HIM A NAME. HE GLARED AT ME AND STARTED WRITING ANOTHER TICKET FOR HAVING WORN TIRES.

SO I CALLED HIM A WORSE NAME. 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 I ABUSED HIM THE MORE TICKETS HE WROTE.

I DIDN'T CARE. MY CAR WAS PARKED AROUND THE CORNER AND THIS ONE HAD AN "ELECT JOHN KERRY" BUMPER STICKER ON IT.

I TRY TO HAVE A LITTLE FUN EACH DAY NOW THAT I'M RETIRED.

IT'S IMPORTANT AT OUR AGE.

(Sorry about the caps. That is the way I received this e-mail. Guess my retired friend has trouble seeing lower case letters.)

"WHAT THEY DO TO MAKE THEIR DAYS INTERESTING. "

Apparently, making posts with CAPS-LOCK on is one of the things they do.

I went to the store the other day. I was only in there for about 5 minutes. When i came out there was a city cop writing out a parking ticket.
I went up to him and said, "come on, buddy, how about giving a senior a break?" he ignored me and continued writing the ticket. I called him a name. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn tires.
So i called him a worse name. 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 i abused him the more tickets he wrote.
I didn't care. My car was parked around the corner and this one had an "elect john kerry" bumper sticker on it.
I try to have a little fun each day now that i'm retired.
It's important at our age.

to get rid of caps quickly; open message, hit ctrl+a to hilight it all and ctrl+c to copy. then paste it into a blank word document (open word, hit ctrl+v)

Then hit ctrl+a again to highlight the entire text. Then hit Shift+F3 (once will change it to all lower case; hit it a second time to change it to sentence case - like above - and a 3rd time will make it all caps)

just an fyi,
