"I Wonder What He Meant By That?" My Standard Retirement Joke...

"If we live inside a bad joke, it is up to us to learn, at best and worst, to tell it well."
- Jonathan Raban -

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.

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."
