Downtown Parking

[Austin Heller]

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, 'McCain 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.
