Parking Meter Humor

A parking meter officer in Boston noticed a parking meter with a paper sack over it upon which was written: "Broken."

The skeptical parking officer removed the bag, inserted a quarter in the meter and turned the dial. It worked perfectly. As the officer began to write a parking ticket, the car's owner rushed out of a nearby building.

"What are you doing?" he yelled after a quick glance at the meter. "There's plenty of time left!"
