Here at Life After Work we often receive funny emails from fellow retirees. Last week we received an email from our friend Marion in New Zealand. It made us chuckle a fair bit, so we thought we'd share it with you:
"Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting.
Well, for example, the other day, my wife Betty and I went into town and visited a shop.
When we came out, there was a cop writing out a parking ticket.
We went up to him and I said, 'Come on, man, how about giving a senior citizen a break?'
He ignored us and continued writing the ticket.
I called him an a*hole. He glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn-out tires.
So Betty called him a s** head.
He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first.
Then he started writing more tickets.
This went on for about 20 minutes. The more we abused him, the more tickets he wrote.
Just then our bus arrived, and we got on it and went home.
We try to have a little fun each day now that we're retired.
It's important at our age."
Thanks Marion. This reminded us of the video we use in live workshops- check it out, it is very funny!
