The other day I went out 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 sensitivity 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. 

 This went on for about 20 minutes. 

 The more I talked back to him the more tickets he wrote. 

 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.
