Something to do if your day gets dull......

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 town 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 Nazi.

He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn tires.

So I called him a piece of horse manure. 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 give a darn. My car was parked around the corner.

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

Nice one! I was back home (in Australia) last week and hadn't been there 12

hours when some low-life tried to use a jemmy-bar to open the driver's door
of the latest-model Ford. I don't know what they expected to do once inside,
as there was nothing visible (or even tucked away) and the anti-theft stuff
in those cars would defeat any lame-brain. Anyway, the car firm replaced it
the next day and even gave me the day's rental free, but in return I had to
fill out the forms. Most questions were tailored to multi-car accidents,
which I was ignoring, but when I got to the question asking "Who do you
think was to blame and why" I wrote "Attempted theft of vehicle - probably
due to upbringing". Well, it made me feel better!

Cheers.

It's a pack behaviour: The scum sees something nice and they just have to
defile it in some way to make the rest of society match their level.

Like when your wife's favourite cat pees on your slippers right in front of
you, the little bag-o-evil-wrapped-in-fur knows full well that wife will
keep you from taking it on a long drive ... like the scum always knows
"their rights".

Indeed. Never ever understood why ppl felt the need to 'key' the paint on nice
new cars for example.e

Poor upbringing ? Very likely actually. There's a new 'reality TV' programme on
UK tv called 'useless parents' or something similar. There's another one called
'foul mouthed kids' too ! Speaks volumes !

Nope, one-man operation. Not hard to set up.

Heh. As a matter of fact, I've "be[en] [my] own damn guru" for some
time, but the job of guru seems to pay even less well than Consultant.

Well, if you set it up right, at least it's steady. The time
between consulting gigs can get tedious (and expensive).
