An Insurance Call


Did you know that Heidi Klum's legs are insured for $2.2 million and Aquafresh has insured America Ferrera's teeth for $10 million (The Ugly Betty Star)? You dont believe me? Then will you believe me when I tell you that Tom Jones insured his chest hair for $7 million? Sigh, I see you do not. Then do click on the link below for details,
You will probably go through the same feelings of disbelief that I went through.

Insurance calls are common aren't they? They want to provide insurance for various diseases and against accidents. So, they all provide insurance for our lives and health, why, because the body is a "tangible" asset? But what about about our hearts and minds? What about heartbreak, disappointments and failure? Don't we all get hurt and more?

They will provide insurance for JLo's butt, but your heartbreak and mine aren't worth a paise...pathetic aren't we?

“We insure everything madam”,
said the voice on the phone.
“Will you insure my heart?” I asked,
breathless in anticipation,
“against heartbreak and pain?”
“And what about love and lust?”
“What?”gasped the voice,
 “Can you insure me against
foolish hopes?”
“Perhaps against never-ending optimism?”
“Excuse me?”sputtered the voice,
while I ran away with my propositions.
 “Do you have a policy against disappointments?”
“Or one for spill-over tears?”
“Wait, wait” wailed the voice...
“Is your premium high for
failures and setbacks
frustrations and regrets?” I continued.
“Hold on” cried the voice, “we don’t
deal with nutcases,” and slammed
the phone.
“Neither do I” I replied to dead phone,
“but I am only human.”
