Why do they say Retired when you never really worked

this made me laugh.

so, you got yourself a little friend there, do you? i guess its better that he licks his own butt rather than humping your leg.

OOOOOO

it's like why do cops and firemen retire after 20 years...can't they do something the next 10 years in an office instead of hiring more paper pushers ? all these government workers, retirement age should be 60+ not friggin 55 with 80% pay. i agree misterb dude, there's a lot of folks milking others for an early free ride. but stallions ain't one of them sir.

NYC now has these 21 year old kids on the street as cops, they retire at 41, not 55...the NY taxpayers have to pay their retirement salary for 30 years!

my father was a policeman in d.c. for 20 years. not sure he could have handled it much longer, TONS of stress working the streets up there. some places, yeah, they could do a lot more. but the larger cities, those guys, cops and firemen, go thru hell. overworked, definitely underpaid--most of them can't afford to live in the city they work in. hell, a city near here--the city bus drivers make more than the police.

What a crazy, messed-up sport: the racehorses are more valuable in the breeding shed than on the racetrack, and the land underneath the racetrack is more valuable than the racetrack itself. The owners of the horses are reluctant to actually race the racehorses out of fear of injury or a "tarnished" record. The actual "racing" part of the horse racing industry seems to be considered a necessary nuisance.

This has to be the only sport where the "athletes" are worth more in retirement than while active.
