Getting a Parking Ticket

This is a story my sister e-mailed me. It gave me a little laugh and so I thought I'd share.


The other day I went downtown 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 insensitivity 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. Then he wrote a third ticket when I called him a moron in blue. This went on for about 20 minutes. The more I talked back to him the more tickets he wrote. Personally, 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 for my health.

Oh, I love it. :D I would get a "Not my president" bumper sticker but he isn't worthy of any kind of representation on my car. *gag*
