- So, now that you have both retired, how do you spend your time?
- Oh, well, you know, there’s plenty of stuff to do. For example, the other day we went into town, and took a stroll through the centre, just window shopping. We starting getting back, and we saw this traffic warden placing a ticket on the windscreen. So I asked him: “Aren’t people supposed to get 10 minutes grace? Not everyone can walk all the distance from the parking lot to the shops, you know?”
- And then?
- He didn’t reply, but he took a look at the tyres, and started writing another ticket, as one of them was below the tread limit.
- Oh.
- Well, it goes on - my wife asked him if he believed that just because he had a uniform on, he though himself better than others. Then he looked at the windscreen wipers, and started writing another ticket.
- That’s not very nice. Did he say anything at all?
- No, not even when I called him a Nazi. He did turn very red, though, and continued writing tickets.
- What? Incredible! What happened next?
- I don’t know; he was still writing tickets when our bus arrived, and we headed back home.
