Active-duty Sailors often ask me what I do now that I’m retired to keep things interesting. I’ll give an example…
I went to
the Fort Lewis McChord PX the other day to pick up a package. I was only there
for about five minutes. When I came out there was base security writing a
parking ticket. I went up to him and said …
“Come on
buddy, don’t be a jerk. How about giving a retiree a break?”
He
ignored me and continued writing the ticket. I called him an explicative as he
glared at me and started writing another ticket for having worn tires. So I called
him another even worse explicative as he finished the second ticket and put it on
the windshield with the first. Then he started writing me a third ticket. This
went on for about twenty minutes. The more I abused him, the more tickets he
wrote…
But I
didn’t care. My car was parked around the corner, and this one had a big ol’
bumper sticker that read “Army of One.”
