What retired people do...

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

Well for example, the other day I went into town and went to a shop in
Calgary I was only in there for about 5 minutes.
When I came out there was a cop writing out a parking ticket.

I went up to him and said, "Come on mate, how about giving a senior a break?"

He ignored me and continued writing the ticket. I called him a "not nice name".
He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn tires.
So I called him a piece of dog poop.
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.

Personally, I didn't give a darn. I came into town by bus.

I try to have a little fun each day now that I'm retired. It's important
at my age.

Somehow I doubt that you'll be able to convince anyone to give you a break for being a senior. Is it next year or the year after for you?

I think you have to need to shave more than once every 6 months to achieve Senior status.

Retired people around here drive down two land highways, 10 MPH under the speed limit and with their left turn signal always on (during rush hour).

Being retired isn't all that its cracked up to be. You don't know when to start or when you're finished, there are no paid holidays and everyday is like monday. Me, I don't do a ---- thing and I don't start 'till noon.
