This gave me a good chuckle




From The London Times:




A Well-Planned Retirement

Outside England's Bristol Zoo there is a parking lot ​

for 150 cars and 8 buses. For 25 years, its ​

parking fees were managed by a very pleasant ​

attendant. The fees were £1 for cars ($1.40), ​

£5 for busses (about $7).

Then, one day, after 25 solid years of never missing ​

a day of work, he just didn't show up; so the Zoo ​

Management called the City Council and asked it ​

to send them another parking agent. ​

The Council did some research and replied that the ​

parking lot was the Zoo's own responsibility. ​

The Zoo advised the Council that the attendant was ​

a City employee. ​

The City Council responded that the lot attendant ​

had never been on the City payrole. ​

​

Meanwhile, sitting in his villa somewhere on the coast of Spain​

(or some such scenario), is a man who'd apparently had a ​

ticket machine installed completely on his own; and then ​

had simply begun to show up every day, commencing ​

to collect and keep the parking fees, estimated at about ​

$560 per day -- for 25 years. ​

Assuming 7 days a week, this amounts to just over ​

$7 million dollars!
....​

And no one even knows his name.​

​

 

Now thats a way to make a buck!

 

how much is a ticket machine?

 

I was thinking about installing parking meters all around the neighborhood. That way I didnt have to stand there and collect the money!!

 

Now that's a good idea right there...
