This is particularly funny because not only is my Dad 80 “years young” (as he says it), he is also a Democrat. He stays a Democrat because, in his words, “I am not going to let these idiots chase me away from the Truman Era Democrats”.
He has voted Republican since Carter…go figure.
Here is the email he sent to me, his own personal militant Reagan Era Conservative:
“HELLO YA’ALL!! THOUGHT YOU MIGHT GET A LAUGH OR TWO OUT OF THIS ONE. WE ALL NEED A LAUGH, AT LEAST NOW AND THEN. LOVE AND PRAYERS; DAD PHILIPPIANS 4: 6 and 7
WHAT RETIRED PEOPLE DO
Working people frequently ask what retired people do to make life interesting.
Well, for example, the other day I went down town and went into a shop.
I didn’t stay long–maybe five minutes or so.
When I came out a cop was very busy writing a parking ticket.
I went up to him and said, “C’mon, man, how about giving a retired person a break.”
He ignored me. So, I called him a Nazi.
He glared at me and began writing another ticket for worn tires.
I called him a lousy donut-eating Gestapo member.
He finished the second ticket and added it to the first one already on the windshield.
Then he started writing a third ticket.
The more verbal abuse I heaped on him, the more tickets he wrote.
This went on for about 20 minutes.
Personally, I don’t care. I came down town on the bus and the car he was putting the ticket on had a bumper sticker that said “Hillary in ‘08.”
I try to have a little fun each day.
It’s very important for my health.
