    Yeah, I think IrCOll pass on retirement. It is easier to go into my
    office complex and goof off.

    I very much get that (even today), but a lot of the time, it's
    Eternal Saturday.

    The gas station I pass to and from the grocery has a signboard on
    which they display "jokes".
    Many of which are pretty lame. Some of which are what would be
    expected in "Cap'n Billy's Wheeze-bag", a publication you can glimpse
    briefly if you watch the film /The Music Man/,
    But some are memorable:
    "When I wake, sometime I get up grumpy"
    "But mostly I let her sleep"
    and one I really like:
    'Now that I am retired, I like to party'
    'Of course, by "party" I mean "nap"'
    Indeed.

    The El Arroyo restaurant in Austin, TX, has been doing this for decades.
    Their signs have been all over social media.
