From The London Times:A Well-Planned RetirementOutside England 's Bristol Zoo there is a parking lotfor 150 cars and 8 buses. For 25 years, itsparking fees were managed by a very pleasantattendant. The fees were cars ($1.40),busses (about $7).Then, one day, after 25 solid years of never missinga day of work, he just didn't show up; so the ZooManagement called the City Council and asked itto send them another parking agent.The Council did some research and replied that theparking lot was the Zoo's own responsibility.The Zoo advised the Council that the attendant wasa City employee.The City Council responded that the lot attendanthad never been on the City payroll._________________________________________________Now the rest of the story:It was discovered that he was neither a Zoo or a city employee.Given that the Zoo was closed only on Christmas Day and that no one stays at the zoo all day and some days less people show up here's a rough calculation of what he made: at 140 cars and 10 buses per day = $266.00 X 364 = $96,824.00/yr.96,824 X 25 = $2,420,600.00 (tax free).He is now living in a villa in Spain (or Italy or Greece): who cares it's warm where ever he is.
