A Well-Planned Retirement
*From The London Times:*

Outside the Bristol Zoo, in England, there is a parking lot for 150
cars and 8 coaches, or buses.

It was manned by a very pleasant attendant with a ticket machine
charging cars £1 (about $1.40) and coaches A£5 (about $7).

This parking attendant worked there solid for all of 25 years. Then,
one day, he just didn't turn up for work.

"Oh well", said Bristol Zoo Management, "we'd better phone up the
Town Council and get them to send a new parking attendant."

"Err ... no", said the Council, "that parking lot is your responsibility."

"Err ... no", said Bristol Zoo Management, "the attendant was employed
by the Town Council, wasn't he?"

"Err ... NO!" insisted the Council.

Sitting in his villa somewhere on the coast of Spain, is a bloke who
had been taking the parking lot fees, estimated at A£400 (about $560)
per day at Bristol Zoo for the last 25 years. Assuming 7 days a week,
this amounts to just over A£3.6 million ($7 million)!
