Subject: Retired Man


Working people frequently ask retired people what they do to make their days interesting.

Well, for example, the other day I went downtown and into a shop. I was only there for about five minutes and when I came out there was a cop writing out a parking ticket. I said to him, "Come on, man, how about giving a retired person a break?"

He ignored me and continued writing the ticket. I called him a "Nazi." He glared at me and wrote another ticket for having worn tires. So, I called him a "doughnut eating Gestapo." He finished the second ticket and put it on the windshield with the first. Then he wrote a third ticket. This went on for about twenty minutes. The more I abused him, the more tickets he wrote.

Personally, I didn't care. I came downtown on the bus, and the car that he was putting the tickets on had a bumper sticker that said, "Hillary in '08."

I try to have a little fun each day now that I'm retired. It's important to my health

Spreading anti-Hillary propaganda?

Spreading anti-Hillary propaganda?

No, I am spreading Anti-Front Runner propaganda. I want Rudy and Hillary to both be defeated in the primaries because they are both dangerous and what this country doesn't need right now. I wouldn't vote for either of them for dog catcher.

If I have to choose between them in the General Election I will either not vote, or I may vote for a third party candidate.

d) None of the above

I may vote for a third party candidate.

"Go ahead, throw your vote away!" - Kang (or Kodos, paraphrased either way)

[Mark Gambo]

No, honestly how many of the questions did you select and answer other than D - None of the above?

[Mark Gambo]

"Go ahead, throw your vote away!" - Kang (or Kodos, paraphrased either way)

Sorry, I can not vote for either of these people.

[18experience]

Sorry, I can not vote for either of these people.

No, I'm sorry. I'm sorry that you didn't notice the quotes and the Simpson's reference.

[homer13j]

Don't blame me, I voted for Kodos.

[penagate]

I thought I said no more political propaganda in this forum.
