Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting.
Well, for example, the other day my friend 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 friend called him a butt-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.
I have just completed at least 180 seconds of laughter without letup, and boy am I relieved to be able to take a breath. This might be an old joke, I don't know, but thanks.
I suppose in reality the cop begins asking questions like "Is this your car?" and proceeds to demand identification, but let us push aside mundane considerations of what you can expect to happen if one recklessly engages a shield-wearer in conversation when he's being all official and stuff. This is funny.

OK, so I linked to the post about what retired people do and scrolled through the site and found this picture of Obama campaign manager Jim Messina:

and I kept thinking to myself, "I know this guy from somewhere." And then it came to me - sans haircut, he's the identical twin of Jared Lee Loughner!
