A RETIREMENT JOKE:  "This fellow and his wife had come to town to pick up a few things.  They came out of one store and saw a cop writing a ticket for illegal parking right in front of them on the curb.  So they asked him nicely to give a couple of retirees a break.  But he paid them no attention and kept writing.  Just loud enough for him to hear, the wife said, 'What a Bozo'.  The cop looked up, stared at the wife, then started writing out a second ticket.  The husband said, 'Honey, this guy probably just learned to read and write, and he's so proud of himself, he's showing off.'  The cop tore off the 2nd ticket and started in on a third.  The couple kept making comments and he kept writing tickets till he was up to about half a dozen.  Finally glaring at us, the cop left, and the couple walked on down the street.  You see, they didn't care about the tickets.  They always took the bus into town, and anyway, that car was one of those obnoxious Hummers.  Being retired, people  always try to find ways to keep themselves amused.  They feel it is important."
