Pensionable Pleasure

On the receipt of his bus-pass, Robin Get mused over his new life-status pointing out,


"Working people frequently ask us retired people what we do to make our days interesting.

Well, for example, the other day my wife, Imelda and I went to the seaside to visit the family and went into a shoe shop.

We were only in there for about 5 minutes (unbelievably!). When we came out, there was a policeman writing out a parking ticket. We went up to him and said,

"Come on man, how about giving us senior citizens a break?"

He ignored us and continued writing the ticket. I called him a turd. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn tyres. So my wife called him a sh*thead. He finished the second ticket and put it on the windscreen 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.

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