Tickets
My colleague Louie Crew has his moments. With a few of them, he wrote this:
“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 twenty 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 had a bumper sticker that said ‘Vote Republican in ‘08.’
“I try to have a little fun each day now that I’m retired. It’s important to my health.”
Note: I’m not all that sure Louie did this, I just hope so and maybe wish I had.
