My wife and I went downtown to do some shopping. When we walked back to the street, we spotted a cop eagerly writing out a parking ticket for a sedan.
I stepped up to him and said, “Come on, officer, how about giving a senior citizen a break?”
He completely ignored me and kept writing. So, I muttered under my breath, “You absolute butthead.”
The cop snapped. He glared at me and immediately started writing a second ticket for the car’s worn-out tires. Seeing this, my wife chimed in and called him a “power-tripping jerk.”
He furiously slapped the second ticket on the windshield and started writing a third one for a broken taillight. This beautiful cycle went on for about 20 minutes; the more insults we hurled at him, the more tickets he frantically wrote.
Finally, looking incredibly proud of his stack of fines, the cop sneered at us and walked away.
Right on cue, our city bus pulled up. We hopped on, paid our fare, and headed home. Now that we’re retired, we try to find a little entertainment wherever we can!
