Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting. Well, for example, the other day my wife and I went into town and went into a shop. We were only in there for about 5 minutes. When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket. We went up to him and said, "Come on man, how about giving a senior citizen a break?"


He ignored us and continued writing the ticket. I called him a Nazi turd. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn tires. So my wife called him a sh%#-head. He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he started writing a third ticket. This went on for about 20 minutes. The more we abused him, the more tickets he wrote. Personally, we didn't care. We came into town by bus and saw the car had an Obama sticker. We try to have a little fun each day now that we're retired . . . it's important at our age.

Thinly veiled attempt at trying to make an an old - not to mention unfunny - political joke a relevant topic for the retirement forum.

Hopefully, the mods will see it for what it is and move it to the politics forum where it belongs.

Funny is in the eye of the beholder. I thought it was funny, even though I had heard or read it once a long time ago. The Obama bumper sticker could just as well have been a sticker for any affiliation. It's not that important to the joke. Let's not be so grimly serious about everything.

Agree, mildly funny, heard it before and would find it amusing if it was a Bush or Palin sticker. Not politics, just insert current polarizing figure into the joke to make it work.

exactly. nice to see the name isn't the point, some just have no sense of humor, probably grumpy people about everything.

makes one feel sorry for such unhappy people.
