"If we live inside a bad joke, it is up to us to learn, at best and worst, to tell it well."
- Jonathan Raban -
This is one of my "standard jokes."
I present it here today for your amusement; perhaps it will give you a chuckle?
It's kind of a lame joke, one that I share with folks who ask me, or who just assume, that I'm retired?
Isn't retirement wonderful?

When I'm asked whether I am, or when I'm simply assumed to be retired, this is how I often respond:
"Retirement can be wonderful,"
I might reply. "However, I am not as yet retired."
Retirement is such fun.

"I generally tell people that I'm semi-retired."
What do I mean by that?
Here's what I mean...
Wait for it...
I am only semi-retired.

"I consider myself semi-retired."
"Most days, upon waking, I feel as if a semi-trailer truck has
retired me to the pavement."
Retired to the pavement...
