by my father-in-law, who recently retired
at 86, and my wife, who can barely stand
me at home for a weekend.
If we lived in a decent climate, I'd pro-
bably be retired and happy. There's
nothing I would like better than to saunter
down to the square, play a game of chess
with some other old turkey, drink a little
vino, and watch the girls go by, with cackl-
ing remarks
Try that in the local square, and they'd
be carting you off to the last resting -place,
frozen solid in a sitting position.
Why don't we all give up, we old gaffers?
You know why? Because we are not old
gaffers at all. In my chest beats the heart
of a 15 -year-old maiden (who has been
smoking since she was two..)
In the old days, we'd be retired, happily
playing chess or shooting pool, because
our sons would be looking after us, and our
wives would feed us well, and know their
place, and our daughters-in-law would be
producing hordes of grandchildren to light
us on our way.
These days, we are still looking after our

sons, and our wives are avaricious and
spoiled, and our daughters-in-law are
already separated from our sons and not
keen on having more than one and a half
children.
Oh, I keep my staff on its toes. One day I
announce firmly that I'm going to retire
next June. Their faces light up and they
say, "Oh, chief, how can we get along
without you."
Another day I say, "Well, haven't decid-
ed yet. What with inflation and all,
y'lmow..." And their faces drop into feet,
and they say, "that's great chief. How
could we get along without you.?" And I
smile. To myself.
I've finally figured out the solution.
Retired men, unless they have some in-
sane hobby, like making rose trellises,
drive their wives crazy.
If my wife will sign a written agreement,
duly witnessed, that she will go out and
a job (she once was a waitress, shouldn't
be any trouble) the moment I retire, I'll do
it.
I don't want her hanging around the
house, spoiling my retirement.
