PRICELESS

Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting. Well, for example, the other day, Barbara, my wife and I went into town and visited a shop.

When we came out, there was a meter cop writing out a parking ticket. We went up to her and I said, 'Come on, how about giving a senior citizen a break?'

She ignored us and continued writing the ticket.

I called her a "jerk" . She glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn-out tires.

So Barbara called her a "ticket Nazi". She finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first.

Then she started writing more tickets. This went on for about 20 minutes. The more we abused her, the more tickets she wrote.

Just then our bus arrived, and we got on it and went home.

We always look for cars with "OBAMA 2012 stickers.

We try to have a little fun each day now that we're retired. It's important at our age.

Thank God you will be dead soon. I like how you take public transportation and you most likely complain about services funded with tax money.

Funny... Obama supporters have cars. The rest ride a bus. Nuff said

but the woman in the picture is not a meter maid, she is simply counting cars, to see if there enough parking spaces, or too many for downtown

Amazing how ignorant some people are. I'm not sure but I give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you are young and don't know any better.

If you're a blind follower of obammy, you might be dead before the writers of this story.

Difference is, I doubt they would be saying thank God.

Unlike you, I would bet they have some class.
