He fought in wars for the freedom to park

An older man was driving around in circles the other night, he kept going around and around the block. He finally stopped and asked where he could park, he said he was having a hell of a time trying to park, but every time he found a spot it was marked "no parking" or "bus parking" or whatever.

He finally said, "I fought in two wars, I should be able to park wherever I want!" I didn't know what to respond.

"that would result in anarchy, because there are thousands of people that could say that. By parking where you please you could endanger the lives of others. Further, while far less worrisome, you would destroy the efficiency we have made an effort to establish in society. If you need to park there are lots..." and list them all.

That wasn't so hard.

Hmmm, that response was taking the veteran's statement a bit too literally. Maybe someone will knock down a tenement on Grand and build a free lot just to stick it to the MPA and CocoWalk. Ahh that would be nice.

Hey and what's with the valet at Cocowalk on weekends - what's that about? Who approved that? And it's expensive - like $10 - more than what the valets on Commodore charge? And they use 3 spaces on Virginia St. where we can't park. It never stops!
