The Parking Ticket

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.
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 '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.

The car that he was putting the tickets on had one of those bumper stickers that said, 'Obama in '08'.

I try to have a little fun each day now that I'm retired. The doctor tells me that it's important to my health.

Before the mud starts flying, I'm a Democrat and I thought it was funny.

It *is* a joke that could be applied to *anyone's* bumper stickers..."Jesus Saves," "Meat is Murder," the list *does* go on...

Or better yet...to a car that had just tried to run the narrator over a half hour earlier.

OTOH, the laughter point came for me at "I took the bus." So maybe it doesn't matter whose car it is or why.
