I was in the Navy.

Worked in Civil Engineering.

Retired.

Now I mostly annoy my wife and turn gunpowder into smoke.

Wife asked me what I was going to do today, I told her "nothing". She said "that's what you did yesterday". I said "I wasn't finished".

I should be able to see in a few days when the swelling goes away.

Feel free, I probably stole it myself. Can't remember being sharp enough to come up with it myself.

I do know one of the neighbors asked the wife how I was and heard her reply, "Oh, better than nothing, I guess", so enjoy retirement and remember it's our job to be underfoot. That way she'll say "go do something" and I'm off to the range.

"Louie, I married you for better or worse but not for lunch! Find something to do." One of my customers to her husband on his retirement.
