Happy Thanksgiving - Story for the holiday
passed on by a friend now in Texas:

Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make
their days interesting. Well, for example, the other day I went down
town 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 still had a bumper sticker that
said "Bush/Cheney." I try to have a little fun each day now that
I'm retired. It's important to my mental health.
